The "Non-Deadly" Robot Crafting Station

The "Non-Deadly" Robot Crafting Station is a workbench for crafting robots. Building robots on the workbench increases a Sim's skill in Robotics. If FreeTime is installed, it is different from other workbenches in that using it builds enthusiasm for the Tinkering hobby.

The crafting station was introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business. It is found in the Buy catalog under Hobbies -> Misc., along with the two other workbenches.

Robots made by the crafting station are controlled by an invisible NPC named NPC - Robot, except for Servos, which are fully playable Sims with character data.
