Robotics (CTP1)

Robotics is an advance in Civilization: Call to Power.
==Summary==
Robotics, the eighth Mechanical Advance, ushers in a new worker: the robot. Guided by silicon etchings and untouched by sin or prejudice, the robot works tirelessly in the factory or on the battlefield. With the Robotic Plant, the War Walker, Mega Mines and the Automated Fisheries, Robotics show man that some jobs can be better left to others.

Although Mass Production offered many benefits to manufacturers, it's dependence on a human work force made it vulnerable to organized disruptions such as strikes and government regulation as well as personal problems such as illness, injury, inefficiency, and theft. Not so with Robots. Programmed mechanical workers, robots were named after the mechanical beings in Czech writer Karel Capek's 1921 play R.U.R. In the play, the robots rise up and fight their masters, but in reality, robots proved not only innocuous but wonderfully efficient and uncomplaining. Mass Production skyrocketed, boosting the world economy.
