Would Vinni have been created at the same time as Robot Avalon?
And why, if cloning and the creation of artificial species is frowned upon(which is contradicted by 'Animals' and, possibly, the links) is there not a similar policy towards the creation of lifelike robots?
In 'Project Avalon' however the exchange between Servalan and the scientist which indicates that such robots were fairly common (standard model ... will do). (And why is Travis watching that screen of 'falling circles': he waves someone out of the way to look at it.)
