Drone Grapple

[Scottybobotti]

Can a combat drone with two melee weapon arms with battlegloves on each grapple?

I'm making a character who rides his drone in combat and their primary combat tactic is to have the drone grapple their opponent and its rider then attack it.

I don't see why not. Sounds awesome!

I know!

AFAIK, there is no rule saying that a drone cannot make an unarmed attack, the same way a PC can. Sure, it'd be 1d3 damage base, nonlethal, but still.

Which is to say, technically speaking, a drone would not even need to have one melee weapon arm to grapple. It just would need a form not categorically incapable of grabbing something, like "entirely lacking in any form of limb".
