Floating eye bots[1] (or simply Floating Eye[2]) are small security robots, equipped with a taser like weapon[3] and commonly found patrolling pre-war military facilities.
These hovering, taser-equipped robots were mostly used as a sentry for important areas in vital facilities, such as the Sierra Army Depot VI.[4]The aforementioned taser is mounted on the extending arm below, and can also be used to make repairs.[Non-game 1][5]These machines are motivator (jet) driven, similarly to the Agricola mining robot.[Non-game 2]
These robots are quick but fragile, and were mostly used as a sentry or for important areas in vital facilities, such as the Sierra Army Depot, or the Glow. Similar robots include the radio-broadcasting eyebot and the hover robot.
Floating eye bots are often used by the military to guard important locations, and as such can be found in many pre-War bunkers. They use highly advanced electric weaponry to eliminate their enemies but lack somewhat in durability due to their light weight.
