I tried to name one of my probots "malfunctioning eddy", but it was too long.

I've a robot Dominator called RuntimeException who's whole concept is that it was jury-rigged with a Clockwork Psi Transmitter and is so badly coded and bug ridden that anyone getting close gets their minds overwhelmed with psionically transmitted spam, DOS attacks, infinite loops and overflow errors. They end up running away slowly, *randomly attacking others, frozen in place or falling over (he's an Ice/Psi).*



* Of course I can't blame the suicidal love of running into melee range on the Pet AI.*

From an RP perspective, you've got to figure these guys aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Otherwise, why would they follow you?

Sometimes it's a good thing they're dumb, too. Otherwise they might choose to disobey certain orders, like planting a bomb on the ground without enough time to get away, or staying and fighting a hopeless battle against some AV while you run away to safety so you can summon more foolish pawns.
