Camera-Bots
ItemU.A. High School's flying camera drones handle two jobs that look unrelated until you notice the lens is the same. They broadcast the Sports Festival to the country, and they quietly patrol the campus after dark, checking who is still awake and reporting it upstairs.
Overview
Built in-house at U.A. High School, the Camera Robots exist to capture footage and push it out live. Their most public outing is the U.A. Sports Festival, where the machines float around the arena feeding the event to viewers. Something about their behavior suggests they are not purely remote-operated tools, since they occasionally act as though they have opinions of their own.
Function
Recording and transmitting a live feed is the headline capability, but the same hardware doubles as campus security. The bots keep watch over U.A.'s facilities, register anyone moving around past regulation hours, and identify who they are looking at. An intercom link wired between the dormitories and the homeroom teachers' quarters lets them pass what they find straight to staff, no middleman required.
