Databot

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

A Databot is a hovering robot in SkyTown. If it is shot, then it can be scanned for SkyTown Lore. Databots are indestructible. When a Databot is shot, it folds in half and projects a holographic screen with circular symbols into the air. After the data is scanned and downloaded, the Databot unfolds and resumes its patrol. There are twelve Databots scattered throughout SkyTown. Little is know of these robots. All that is know is that they were left behind to give the next people who find Elysia info about what happened to them.

[edit] Logbook entry

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "Databots were designed by the Elysians as a means to record and pass on historical data. They patrol along their set area until disrupted, and then project a holographic datafile. However, only those equipped with Chozo-based visor technology can access this information."
