Friston 3 is an S-C Model four-wheeled Operation Platform, the first product of the Rhodes Island Smart Operation platform R&D Team's efforts. Closure personally led the team throughout the development process, from concept design to assembly and testing. Friston-3 is also based on PRTS, achieving a new comprehensive standard for operation platforms, from the underlying source code to the external modules. He weighs less than the other retrofitted operation platforms on Rhodes Island, while being more versatile and stable, and currently participates in operations as a Defender Operator. [Classified Log] The source code for Friston-3's core, compiled ideations, and other design details are temporarily unavailable to Operators, so please contact Closure directly if you have any questions.
