No vocoder, although it does have an audible warning system. This is my push back with the cargobots just being sophisticated equipment. I like Star Wars as much as the next guy, but after Wall-E and BB-8, the cute robot thing is starting to get to me.

I eventually remembered this is all fiction and decided anti-grav fields could run the same way or perpendicular to each other, but not in opposite directions, hence the last image with the robot below the cargo.ДЇinally, this is a strong attempt of mine to stay away from anthropomorphized robots.

I created and really liked an image of a grav cargobot holding cargo from above, like some flying beast with prey in its claws, but then I started thinking about the anti-grav cargo module contradicting the effects of the anti-grav mobility unit. I figure the these would run from about 80KCr for the manually driven cargo mover up to 200KCr for the grav version with all the bells and whistles. No powered battle dress also means no PGMP-13. Since powered battle dress arrives at TL 13, these Marines are in unpowered combat armor. The Tech Level of the Imperium at Year Zero is 12. I provided several different options from what I remembered from Book 8 - Robots, but am past my days of gearheading all the small details and counting credits. Shipboard Marines are always armed and armored to the max in order to multiply the effectiveness of their small numbers. So the idea is the cargo bot has an anti-grav module to make the cargo lighter and therefore easier to move around. This was inspired by the grav-assisted APC in one of my old Traveller books (but for the life of me I cannot find it - I just remembered something like 'imagine a tank moving at Lamborghini speeds.).
