The GM/Hyundai Worker Bee is a remote robot introduced in Chromebook Volume 1.

Sourcebook Description

Cargo transport in a secure installation is at best a routine task. Free skilled workers for more important tasks by letting the Worker Bee take over most of your warehouse duties. Each Worker Bee is a semi-autonomous robot slaved to a controlling program in your mainframe. The Bee can carry up to two metric tons of cargo; half that on the main forklifts (the rest on the cargo bed), and the secondary arms can lift 400kg. Packages as small as an egg or as large as a crated Bell-15 Autogyro are easily manipulated. Onboard computers reduce the drain on precious mainframe time. They work twenty-four hours a day, never go on strike, work in the dark, and are engineered for maximum reliability.

Game Notes: The Worker Bee is typical of the remote vehicles controlled by computer systems. They are found in those industrial facilities Cyberpunk PC's are so fond of breaking into. They move at a maximum speed of 25 mph, much less when not on a smooth surface. There is a limited control station on board, just watch out for the arms—the working programs assume nobody is on board.
