Short description

I heard that ss13 has these cool little ai drones. So I went and made some ai drones!

Why we need to add this

AI drones are cheap(ish) ai controlled entities for when a boris is too much or not built yet. They also have a hand, allowing the station ai to do things that they normally couldn't.
They're locked behind the same technology as the boris and cost gold and plasma, but can be printed directly with no assembly needed, meaning the ai should be able to get a physical presence without assistance.

To counteract the ability for the ai to have a hand, they're extremely delicate with only 25 hitpoints, and have no combat mode.
