The Robcomkit, sometimes called a robocom kit, is a specialized assortment of tools used by Robotics and Computer Specialists, for servicing robots and computers on the field. It weighs between 10 and 15 kg, depending on model,[1] and like the techkit, is designed to be carried in a backpack.
A fully-stocked standard Robcom kit costs 500 Cr.
A standard robcomkit contains the following:
- Breadboard circuits — 5 standard boards for mounting robot circuitry
- Calipers — capable of taking measurements as small as .001 mm
- Components — box of transistors, diodes and computer chips for robot circuits
- Demagnetizer — electrical tool to demagnetize fouled circuits
- Electrodriver — rotates all shapes and size of screws and bolts
- Electrosnips — powered metal-cutting shears (sheet metal only)
- Insulated wire — 10 meters
- lon Bonding Tape — 10 cm wide x 5 m long, bonds directly to any metal
- Lasoldering iron — pen-sized laser soldering iron
- Magnetic by-pass clips — 10 small connectors used to short-circuit wiring
- Miniature flashlight — 20 hours of light; magnetized handle
- Needlenose pliers — similar to 20th century tool
- Oscilloscope — miniaturized viewer which displays information on electrical flow and other aspects of circuitry
- Spray cleaner — spray solvent to remove dirt from the robot's works; 10 applications
- Spray lubricant — 10 applications of pressurized synthoil
- Spray waterproofing — will insulate circuits, cloth, etc., from moisture; five applications
- Sonic Scalpel — tool for cutting plastic, metal or flesh; makes a smooth, bloodless incision up to 5 mm deep
- Solder — 1-meter roll of conductive soft metal
Expendable components are restocked as part of normal character expenses and upkeep.
