As I said, we learned that the hard way.

But they're expensive, and much more difficult to produce then soldiers are.

They break when it gets windy, or too dry, or too cold.

A Cistern-AGN 5153 Column Precipitation Unit. The 5153 Models were active within the regiment for roughly 35 years during the Reign of Ackerly, 822-858.

The 5153 had a competent processor and drive aggregate, and in it's time the fastest construction response routines of any column unit recorded. Eventually, however, the Cistern-AGN group lost their modernization bids and were eliminated from the contract pool.

Forty Days of Robots: Day 14

A "New Model" Tonohukei, the G Series Model 91. The G Series ran indexing and registration functions for landing parties, and were commonplace in most voyages from their induction in 847 through most of the last century.

The contract with Tonohukei was severed after the Fundamental Collapse in 902, and few New Models of any series survived the subsequent purges.
