This is the standard mining mech, which robotics might give you. The advantages of these that they have their own health, their own atmospheric systems so you don't need a suit (but you should wear a hardsuit anyways), and they mine very quickly especially if they're equipped with a diamond drill. Also, you can instantly crit anyone by mining them with your drill, but that's more useful for antags. Unfortunately, these are not particularly durable things and goliaths will make short work of you. On top of that, you need to charge it every now and then at one of the mining stations or it will run out of power and shut down. Plus, they're slow and turn slowly. They're an option you can mess around with, but I personally prefer to just hoof it. | This is the standard mining mech, which robotics might give you.

A redeeming quality is that their armour can be upgraded by applying Goliath plates, which means that the more Goliaths you kill, the easier it is to kill them. It has a limit of 3 Goliath plates on a Ripley. They're an option you can mess around with, but I personally prefer to just hoof it. | ||
