Buzz Droid's "tab" is the single wide portion sticking out of the end of the template as shown in the preview spread (lower mid left):

Yea, but the (mostly minor) issue is that "tab" is not defined anywhere. It's not really a problem, but could be rules-laywered

After perusing and participating in the Rules Questions sub I have no doubt someone could find a way to rules lawyer that a bare Academy Pilot can roll 3 attack dice at a defender beyond range 3... Sometimes K.I.S. logic needs to be applied. :)

When your IKEA instructions says "stick Tab A into Slot B", Neither Tab nor Slot is defined anywhere. These are english words people should know.

It's like where the rules says, in part, that a ship is comprised of pegs. You don't ask them to define what a peg is.

Yes I'm gonna be that guy. The rulebook shows you what a peg is under the assembly instructions and components sections. So technically they do define what a peg is.

You mean... the rulebook in the Core Set?

I almost forgot that thing existed.

Can i be that guy too? Nowhere in the rules does it describe how to "roll" a dice, so we may all be doing it wrong !

That one’s easy. Just set the required number of dice in front of your phone’s screen and then click this link.
