Or was that changed because information can now be relayed much faster? They do not have any degree of reasoning, most robot tech has been replaced by drone tech. They were used to help prepare places for colonization, but information can be relayed very quickly. It's sort of like how they put the human fleets in Ender's command in Ender's Game. (I have never read or seen Ender's game. So I apologise for not having the faintest idea of what you mean.)

I was sort of thinking Robots would make good soldiers. Because they will obey commands without question and are less... organic.. But such soldiers would need a bit of reasoning to aim properly. And designate targets.

Or do drones do the same?
