{{quote|Message from [[General Pepper]]! Priority one!|ROB 64}}
'''ROB 64''', also known as '''ROB''' or '''ROB the Robot'''<ref>''Star Fox Adventures'' instruction booklet, page 5</ref>, is the robotic operator of the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team's mothership, the [[Great Fox]]. His first appearance is in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.


{{quote|Message from [[General Pepper]]! Priority one!|'''R.O.B. 64'''}}
==Description==
ROB's name is a reference to the NES accessory, [[nwiki:R.O.B.|R.O.B.]] (Robotic Operating Buddy), which is another type of robot. The "64" is derived from the [[Nintendo 64]], which is the console of his first appearance, the [[Nintendo 64]]. His Japanese name, NUS64, has a slightly different derivation from the Nintendo 64; it is a reference to the console's serial number, including its peripherals. It is also the abbreviation of "Nintendo Ultra 64", which was a working title for the Nintendo 64. In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', the letters "NUS" are located at the top of his chest.


Because ROB 64 is capable of piloting the Great Fox, which technically makes it entirely autonomous. ROB 64 is networked to the ship's main computers, allowing him to process information requested by the Star Fox team. ROB can also use the Great Fox's transfer device to deliver vehicles and items to member of the Star Fox team out in the field.


'''R.O.B. 64''', known as '''NUS64''' (ナウス 64 Nausu Rokujūyon) in Japan, is the robotic operator of [[Star Fox Team]]'s mothership, the [[Great Fox]].
ROB 64 has a metallic and humanoid-like body. His head is somewhat oval-shaped, and his face has a small plate with vents for a mouth, which moves as he communicates. ROB 64 has a glowing, red visor for eyes. His torso is out-thrust and has a rectangular LED screen displaying the Star Fox team's symbol. He has extendable wrists on both of his arms.


[[Image:R.o.b_64.jpg|thumb|left|R.O.B. 64 in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.]]
==History==
===''Star Fox 64''===
In his debut appearance, ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', ROB 64's role was operating and maintaining the [[Great Fox]]. When needed, ROB sent supply boxes that contained [[ring]]s or [[Smart Bomb]]s from the mothership. ROB also repaired the shield-depleted [[Arwing]]s of Fox's teammates, and would be done with fixing them by the time Fox had finished the next level.  ROB only serves to relay information to the pilots, such as "''Location confirmed. Sending supplies.''" or "''Great Fox will cover you.''" In this game, ROB is the most analytical.


R.O.B.'s name is a reference to the NES accessory R.O.B.(Robotic Operating Buddy), to which he bears a more than passing resemblance. The "64" is derived from the console of his first appearance, the [[Nintendo 64]].
In its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', ROB 64 provides the occasional advice for the player to take a 10-15 minute break.


R.O.B.'s Japanese name, "NUS", stands for "Nintendo Ultra Sixty-four," the original name of the Nintendo 64 system, and is part of the serial number of all N64 components: the controller, for example, is NUS-005. Like with his English name, the 64 is derived from the console of his first appearance, the Nintendo 64.
===''Star Fox Adventures''===
In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', ROB 64 has minor appearances in the opening and ending cutscenes with the [[Great Fox]], along with the core Star Fox team. In the game manual, he is called '''ROB the Robot''. Around the time Fox landed on [[Dinosaur Planet]], ROB tried to send [[Fuel Cell]]s down to him, but they were scattered across the planet by accident.


R.O.B. has the ability to completely control the Great Fox, technically making the ship fully autonomous. It is also networked to the ship's main computers, allowing ROB to process any information requested by the Star Fox Team. R.O.B. can also use the ship's transfer device to send vehicles and items to Star Fox team members in the field.
In the opening cutscene, ROB is repaired by [[Slippy Toad]], and in the end cutscene, ROB jokes about Fox's attraction to [[Krystal]]. ''Star Fox Adventures'' is the first game where ROB's whole body is shown.


R.O.B. appeared again in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. He helped with processing saved data.
===''Star Fox Assault''===
In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', ROB 64 had a similar role as in ''Star Fox 64''. He was nearly destroyed when [[Peppy Hare]] crashed the Great Fox into the shield protecting the entrance to the [[Aparoid Queen]]'s lair, but Peppy and ROB managed to use an escape pod before the ship was destroyed. The Apraroid Queen had used ROB's voice to try and convince the team to "join them".  


[[Image:Rob2.jpg|thumb|left|R.O.B., as he appears in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''.]]
===''Star Fox Command''===
ROB reappears in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', piloting the new [[Great Fox (Star Fox Command)|Great Fox]] in the map mode, and also giving some advice to [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] and the other characters during the missions. On some paths in the game, ROB joins [[Star Wolf]] team when no "hero" character is playable. In this game, he, like in Adventures, becomes more humanoid, even uttering sarcastic remarks. For instance, if the Great Fox is destroyed, ROB says, "''Goodbye cruel world.''" He even has veiled feelings for [[Lucy Hare]], when he remarks to her that he'd do anything for her.

R.O.B. returns in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', piloting the new version of the Great Fox in the map mode, and also giving some advice to [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] and the other characters during the missions. On some paths in the game, R.O.B. joins [[Star Wolf Team]] when no "hero" character is around to play as.
== Voice actors ==
*David White (English) / Daisuke Sakaguchi (Japanese) for ''Star Fox 64''
*John Silke in ''Star Fox Adventures''
*Dex Manley (English) / Yusuke Numata (Japanese) for ''Star Fox: Assault''


Interestingly enough, R.O.B. seems to have changing personalities. This may be due to his rebuilds by [[Slippy Toad]]. In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', R.O.B. only serves to relay information to the pilots, such as "''Location confirmed. Sending supplies.''" or "''Great Fox will cover you.''" He only speaks when absolutely necessary, and is very analytical.
== Quotes ==
=== ''Star Fox 64'' ===
*''"Location confirmed. Sending supplies."''
*''"Great Fox will cover you."''
*''"(Falco, Slippy, Peppy)'s ship is in the docking bay."''


In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', R.O.B. takes on a more human attitude, as he speaks more as if he were an actual person, and not just a robot. One example is at the end of the game when he asks Fox if he's OK, as he detected a high-temperature frequency within him. Fox tells him that he's fine.

In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', he returns to his analytical personality by rarely speaking unless commands are to be given.

Finally, in his latest appearance, ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', he again becomes more humanoid, even uttering sarcastic remarks. For instance, if the Great Fox is destroyed, R.O.B. says, "''Goodbye cruel world.''" He even has veiled feelings for [[Lucy Hare]], when he remarks to her that he'd do anything for her.
