Editing Crucible:PAX 2000 (section)

== Public Works And Robot Control ==

PAX 2000 also coordinated a fleet of remote-controlled municipal robots. These machines were not independent beings, but specialized public-works units designed to carry out tasks under the computer’s direction. Some handled sanitation. Others assisted with street repair, tunnel inspection, utility maintenance, waste processing, and emergency cleanup after superhuman battles.

The robots became a familiar sight in Unity City during the Silver Age. They were clumsy by later standards, boxy and utilitarian, but they represented the city’s faith in technology. After a villain attack or giant robot rampage, citizens might see PAX-directed repair machines clearing debris, repainting traffic lanes, patching cracked roads, or hauling damaged vehicles away from monorail stations.
