Robotics Expert (Fallout 3)

Robotics Expert is a Fallout 3 Perk.

With the Robotics Expert perk, you do an additional 25% damage to any robot. But, even better, sneaking up on a hostile robot undetected and activating it will put that robot into a permanent shutdown state.

Additional dialogue options with certain robots. These often bypass speech checks or give humorous results.

 * Make Milo in the Nuka-Cola Plant think you are an employee.
 * Fix Sawbones' faulty medical circuits so he won't accidentally damage you while attempting to heal your wounds.
 * Bypass the RobCo Facility section of The Wasteland Survival Guide quest while getting full credit for the job.
