“Heh. Well, the only place I know of locally would be Cerulean Robotics, but that place has been overrun by vermin for years. If you want to check the place out, you can find it on the west side of Freeside. The entrance is on the back side of the building.”— Ralph
Cerulean Robotics is an unmarked location within Freeside in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout
Situated in the southwest corner of the northern half of Freeside, to reach this area coming from the north, one must enter Freeside via the north gate, walk past the Old Mormon Fort and head under the broken highway on the right towards the city wall and the ruined store. Progressing past the ruined store will lead to a small gap in the concrete piles to the left. Through the gap and to the right is the Cerulean Robotics building.
The building interior consists of several rooms spread over a single story and is inhabited by seven giant rats and four broken Protectrons, as well as the sexbot Fisto, controlled by an Average-locked terminal.
The Cerulean Robotics key is found in the room to the right of the entrance. It's on the floor in the southern corner of the room between the couches, in the hand of the skeleton near the TV. This key unlocks the tool cabinet, found in the north corner of the building, containing the terminal access card. Without the key, the cabinet is secured with an Average lock. The terminal access card is used on the "Protectron programming interface terminal" if the player character doesn't have prerequisite Science skill. There is a reloading bench and a workbench with several pieces of scrap metal and sensor modules in the building.
Notable loot
- Lying, Congressional Style - On the floor by the middle computer desk closest to the conveyor belt with scrap metal on it.
- One Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap - On the table in the southwest room with the inaccessible door.
- Cerulean Robotics key - In the hand of a skeleton in front of the TV set in the break room. Opens the tool cabinet holding the terminal access card.

Notes
 | The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |
|---|
If Wild Wasteland is an active trait, upon leaving the building, three old women known as Maud's Muggers appear from around the nearby corner. They are all wearing matching pre-War spring outfits and are armed with rolling pins, knives and switchblades, and are named Irate Ida, Malefic Maud, and Rancorous Ruth. They sometimes spawn before entering the door, without ever having to enter the building.

Appearances
Cerulean Robotics appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs
Picking up the bottles before the star bottle cap may cause it to sink into the desk, becoming impossible to reach even with third-person mode.[verified]- If you talk to Ralph of Mick and Ralph's and agree upon him making the holotape, it will be the only way to start up Fisto. Even when hacking the Average terminal, you will need the holotape to activate him.[verified]
