We've finally finished our monsters save for servers, which are less monsters and more challenges to quickly overcome.
We have four different types of monsters in NeuroSpasta. The first are aforementioned servers.
The second are generic boiler-plate opponents carried over from Ultramodern and adapted to Pathfinder. You can apply several templates to these generalized opponents to customize them to your encounter.
The third are normal creatures like cyborgs and drug-crazed pit fighters.
The fourth are robots, which are different than normal creatures because s players can purchase and remote control them. As such we wanted player to purchase a robot and have its effectiveness increase as the player level increased (only when they are being remote controlled; if on their own, they use their base stats. There are feats one can take to make a player control his/her robot better.
Here is one...if a player is controlling the robot, the character swaps his control bonus instead of the robot's.
