Adds spiderbots
Document the changes in your pull request
Adds spiderbots, a small bots that can be built by attaching a manipulator to a robo head. After that you can attach a MMI to finish the bot, making the bot sentient.
It is able to ventcrawl and move throguh tables, speak all languages and also can hold(but not use) one item. Originaly they had a functionality to explode grenades when dropping them but it is to griefy so I removed it.
Inspiered by tau ceti spiderbots but it isn't a port because it mostly uses my code(originaly I wanted to use tau ceti code, but while I was adapting it to our codebase I replaced most of it with my code).
Spriting
I can't work with .dmi files through a web browser so when I would get to my computer(tomorow) I will ad the sprites

:cl: SuperSlayer, MistakeNot4892 rscadd: Added spider bots - small bots buildable through robotics spellcheck: Fixed a typo in borg code /:cl:
please have it so they cant pick up items if you dont already plan on it, they can only be given an item by someone. Otherwise this is way too easy to make and use for stealing from the armory for roboticist traitors. They'd still be useful as item deliverers/messengers/breaking a friend out of perma, etc. Just them being able to pick up stuff themselves would be too much. I'd also suggest making them not speak 'all languages', you take away what little worth curators and pAIs may have to offer, and instead just have them speak all station crew languages like english, draconic, moth, etc.
Giving them a decently priced upgrade for all languages could mitigate said issue, as they are already extremely niche and giving them that one extra ability could really help.

Okay
Ok well from my current experience of how the current ones work: They can't speak (They only understand one language that being common), their carrying capacity is thus not gonna be used due to the communication barrier and they are basically completely useless. Even drones are less disconnected from the world around them and they have it in their laws to be disconnected from the world around them.
Good change but they die and completely delete the MMI and explode into blood round removing you
