The crazed Mister Handy is a variant of the Mister Handy found in numerous places such as Hell ' s Motel , H & H Tools Factory , New Vegas Steel , and the Saturnite alloy research facility . It will attack the player character as soon as they make contact . This is due to the fact that their combat inhibitor has either been ripped out or has degraded for an unknown reason . In Hell ' s Motel , there is a crazed Mister Handy that was used as an assistant by the now deceased Doctor Rotson . In New Vegas Steel , the crazed Mister Handies were participants in the factory automation test , which has been running for 204 years . As a result , the steel mills still continue to function .

Maintenance robot . Maintenance robots are light green - painted , smaller versions of Mister Handy found in REPCONN headquarters . Attacking one and failing to destroy it within 30 seconds will trigger an alarm , summoning . The maintenance robots may engage in conversation between themselves , or the Mobile facial scanners . This only occurs when hidden , or access is authorized to all floors . Mobile facial recognition scanner . A smaller variant of the Mister Handy , the mobile facial recognition scanners patrol the hallways of REPCONN headquarters to keep any and all unauthorized personnel out of restricted areas . Upon finding an unauthorized person or group , they will address the person or the leader of the group , and request that they verify their access or leave the premises . Failure to verify will result in an admonition to leave within 30 seconds , after which an alarm will sound and sentry bots are summoned . The mobile facial recognition scanners can be killed or deactivated to prevent the alarm as long as the kill is not witnessed by another maintenance robot , or mobile facial recognition scanner , and they haven ' t already told the Courier to leave the floor . To avoid this , ID cards , found scattered around the facility , can be used for identification . Alternatively , one can hack the terminal found on second floor to add themselves to the database ; or , with low Intelligence , say " ICE CREAM ! " , which the machine will accept instead . Bottling robot . In one of the two factory floors in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters , there ' s one bottling robot who appears to be friendly at first .
