I wish they'd tell us what some of the bits are supposed to be in accompanying fluff. Like...why does the Copperbot chassis have those two articulated paddles on the front? A lot of thought seems to go into some parts of the design, and then other things are just kinda there. Rule of cool and "it looks better that way" is fine, I've drawn plenty of impractical things in my life because they look better that way; still, I wanna know. Even if the fluff explanation is derpy as hell.
They're for holding donut boxes, all donut shops on Concilium and circulars use boxes that fit perfectly.
Clearly they're defib-like paddles. First you Riotstop the perp, they you scuttle up, and defib them to flash fry their tech. It's just a lite-shock, really...
