ROBOTS

Just as on earth, many of the everyday tasks at MBA are performed by robots, rather than humans—particularly outside the base. In fact, given the highly technical nature of MBA, perhaps you will find more robots than you are used to. While the robots are extremely helpful, keep in mind that they are also potentially dangerous, with many moving parts and sharp edges. And though some of the smaller robots might look harmless, they are not toys! They serve extremely important functions. To avoid injury, all lunarnauts are advised to avoid touching or handling the robots in any way—with the exception of the moon-base roboticist.
