Robotics Facility

The Robotics Facility is an expensive structure that manufactures various Protoss automatons who will aid you in various ways over the course of your fight. The Facility's purpose is initially very restricted - at first it may only be used to construct Protoss Shuttles used to transport your forces about the battlefield. If you seek to expand your territory quickly, you may wish to hurry to construct a Robotics Facility and then a Shuttle, so you can send Probes to new resource patches. But in most cases, the Robotics Facility is a structure you should build only after your position is firmly established.

Hit/Shield Points 500/500
Time to Build 60
Cost 200m 200g
Requires Cybernetics Core
Special Options   Build Shuttle

After you possess a Robotics Facility, you may then in turn build a Robotics Support Bay and an Observatory, which let you produce the mighty Reavers and crafty Observers from your Facility.
