Caliban was not the only gravitonic robot, nor was he the only no-law robot. Ariel was also a gravitonic no-law robot, and the new-law robots also had gravitonic brains (which is what they were designed for in the first place).Matt Huang wrote: Gravatonic robot is a more efficent version of the standard positronic robot brain. Not much details about physical workings, but a gravatonic robot is immune to electron-guns, and doesn't have the three laws imprinted into it's mind. Not sure if they're capable of Daniel Olivaw level powers, but nothing to suggest they're not. Only one was ever made, the (pseudo)r obot Caliban.

Re: download your mind?
Can I alter my relexes to corespond to my new body, or will I have to learn to move all over again? If I choose a non-humanoid body would I still have realistic VR for recreation? Could I bring in other people? I don't think I would choose to be uploaded into something that wasn't very similar in form to the shell I'm wearing now unless I didn't have a body I can relate too, at least subjectivly (ala The Stone Canals where a protagonist is inside a non-humanoid robot, but has a VR body and percieves himself as manipulating the robot via a contorl board). Also, is the uploading destructive or non-destructive? Its good have both a body you can relate to and backups, but if I had to choose I'd probably choose uploading into a non-human body over a much greater risk of dieing.

I would choose a second gen "auton" synthetic from the Aliens universe, it can do everyting a human can, but as far as I know has no limit on lifespan and can interface with computers. Failing that I would take a Soongian model Android, very good strength, speed, duriability, and almost full access to the senses.

"You're prepared for a giant monster made entirely of nulls stomping around Mainframe?!"
"That is correct!"
"How do you plan for that?"
"Uh... lucky guess?"
