  The only other "Robot player" I ever heard of, was an artical that
appeared in the White
Dwarf mag several years ago.  These robots were "programed" by a set of
tiles.	They had
arrows that controled the flow of the "program". There were things like
'Fire main
weapon'  'Move slow', ect.  The advantage was that you could change the
robot's program.
I don't have the mag, but I thought the idea was so interesting, that
after I read the
artical in the hobby store, that I went home and made up my own set of
tiles!

Any of the (formerly) avid WH40K players might have the artical!  Maybe
an interesting
oppenent can be fashoned from it.
