More mechs!

Hey @JetBalrog if you could share what you're workin on here that'd be great

Copying some text from my post back on Discord, with a couple edits:

As things stand, on Persistence, Robotics is mostly just for making Ripleys every once in a while, maybe printing some flashes for dealing with shadow anomalies, and sometimes making the small AI bots that most people forget exist until the medibot asks them to hold still for the tenth time in one minute. What we need are more things for robotics to create.

I'll keep a list of suggestions here which I will keep edited with a priority list from what I think might be easiest to work with to the more difficult ones, and leaving the ones that I'm not sure about at the bottom.

• Ripley Mk 2 - Likely easy to modify from the original Ripley files, minimal design work needed.
• Clarke - Built off of changes implementable from the Ripley Mk 2, with added mining drill, possible PKA attachment, and an ore bag slot.
• Security mech design ideas - Unlikely to be too difficult to implement. Weapon module reloading may take some effort I'm unaware of currently. Looking at ideas that Space Station 13 had, security mostly had bulky, armored mechs. One, the Gygax, was able to sprint for a short time, and its melee was good at knocking people down and tearing down walls. The Durand, on the other hand, had a large barrier that could protect those behind it at the cost of draining its battery supply.
• Odysseus - Maybe not exactly the same, but a medical mech whose purpose is to make recovery of bodies easier. Possible stasis pod that would function the same as a stasis bed with a power drain on the mech's supply. Least armored mech, primarily meant to augment a paramedic's retrieval capacity. Requirement to release the body to work on them, with a reminder there's someone inside a pod both via visuals and a sound alert, even if the mech is unpowered
