Hoverbot

A Hoverbot is a small, one-man (or one-machine) hovercraft. Introduced in SatAM, hoverbots see a lot of use in police & security roles. However, they have a number of weaknesses, one of which is the color blue…
==Description==
Hoverbots are open-topped machines powered by anti-gravity engines. They are armed with twin laser cannons. Although hoverbots are very fast, they have little to no armor. Furthermore, its open-top design leaves the operator vulnerable to gunfire. Also, unlike hover units, hoverbots cannot fly to great heights, but they can fly rather high.
==History==
In BearfootTruck's universe, hoverbots had been manufactured in Mobius even before the fall of the Acorn government. This can also be seen in the SatAM episode "Blast to the Past", where hoverbots were used by the Acorn government for police patrols. Dr. Robotnik liked the design so much that he chose to continue manufacturing them after he took over the country.
