Hi!

As a tech-savvy race a robot company is appropriate (and perhaps
overdue). I'd eliminate the restriction as to how many cards, these
units aren't "earth-shattering" and it would be cool to see some
predominately robotic armies struting about.

Besides it has a built in achilles heel, since, if you nuke the
command unit then you'll have problems controlling them.

As always please get this to Tom when all the changes have been made.

The command vehicle has to be within 25 cm of the robotdetachments to
be able to give them orders. If the vehicle is further away than this,
the robots will go back to their prewritten programs.
