RobCo Industries



RobCo Industries was a multi-billion-dollar robotics and software corporation founded by industrialist and technologist Robert House.

Background
Founded on June 25, 2042, House's company developed a wide range of robotic products including the eyebot, protectron, and sentry bot as well as the Stealth Boy Model 3001 Personal Stealth Device. RobCo invested in exhibits for the public, such as the joint RobCo/General Atomics exposition at the Museum of Technology in Washington, D.C. 

RobCo acquired REPCONN Aerospace after a year of buying shares from 2075 to 2076, despite the long-time CEO's efforts to stop the acquisiton. Carl Rook, transferred from RobCo's security division, became the next Vice President, focusing on improving the security within the company. Robert House, CEO of RobCo, used the newly acquired company for a weapons research program for Colonel Moretti of the US military, repurposing REPCONN's proprietary plasma rocket propulsion system. H&H Tools factory, part of the inheritance Anthony House had stole from his brother, was acquired by way of RobCo's aggressive trading practices.
