ROBOTIC ACCESSORIES

Although most robotic frames are mass produced on assembly lines they need certain tools to fulfill their principal directives.  Robotic accessories follow the augmentation rules presented in the Starfinder Core Rulebook with a few exceptions noted below.

Every robotic frame hosting an autonomous artificial intelligence has certain modular components.  Technically everything beyond their core processing unit could be replaced, improved, or removed.  Not all components are available to all robotic frames.  However, an engineer could jury-rig parts from one type of robotic frame to temporarily alter or repair another.  Example, a synthetic could temporarily be fitted with a mechanoid arm, but it would lose all its bonuses for lifelike appearance.  However, a robot cannot be equipped with a piece of equipment incompatible with their frame.  Common non-AAI robots can be equipped with any robot accessory available to mechanoids without penalty.  Frame types are as follows; P (plastic), S (synthetic), and M (mechanoid).

Robots do not have heart or lung body systems.  They are replaced by a second torso body system slot.  With GM approval there might be robotic versions of some cybernetic augmentations.  Robot accessories are far less complicated than cybernetic augmentations and as a general rule they are would be 1 to 2 Purchase DC cheaper than their cybernetic equivalent.
