Hi all, sorry to post another one of these hiatus things. For about two weeks I've been visiting the hospice where my grandmother was dying of cancer. I have been very sad and depressed over this and also very unwilling to keep up with what I have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

(...) The RV rules are for the 2000 edition, and the (latest) rulebook is 2001. There were a bunch of changes between the two years, so I'm not surprised if you're hitting inconsistencies.

A "robot brain" is really a detrimental aspect of a trooper rather than of an actual vehicle, hence your vehicle with the simple "robot brain" addition would still have no Skill, thus being still sorta inanimate.
