Ĭarl Rook, transferred from RobCo's security division, became the next Vice President, focusing on improving the security within the company. Failing the vote, Steeple stepped down from his position as Vice President. Citing the profit of a merger with RobCo (not to mention avoiding a hostile takeover and a much less amicable transition), Isley and Masters managed to undermine Steeple's position in the company and get the board of directors to pass a vote of no confidence against Steeple, after he refused to even consider selling his part of the company, in order to maintain their independence and integrity. The Vice President tried to rally the board again and sought help from Masters, but while the CFO officially agreed to support him, she was actually working with General Manager Piers Isley to sell the company. RobCo acquired the company after a year of buying shares from 2075 to 2076, when Steeple's allies turned against him. The company was known to acquire valuable assets through any means necessary. To educate the public and make it friendlier to the American consumer, RobCo invested in exhibits and intense public relations campaigns, like the joint RobCo/General Atomics exposition at the Museum of Technology. Of course, the company was concerned about its public image: A sinister megacorporation does not inspire confidence or loyalty. One of those was Robert Mayflower's Stealth Boy, reverse engineered sometime between 20 from captured Chinese technology. In certain fields, however, RobCo was unmatched. Their broad range of robots, including the eyebot, protectron, and sentry bot lines were one of the most common types of robotics before the War, rivaled only by General Atomics International's own product lines. Within a year, their RobcOS became the standard for military-grade security systems as well. By 2075, their Unified Operating System, MF Boot Agent, and RETROS BIOS were the de facto industry standard for terminals and mainframes across the 13 Commonwealths.

The company's aggressive expansion policies coupled with the high quality of their products have given it a practical monopoly in crucial segments of the software market. Its rise was aided by a Byzantine internal structure: The 27 year old House deliberately structured the company like a maze, to obfuscate his role and allow RobCo to effectively hide their practices. By 2047, thanks to his business acumen, technical genius, and a Commonwealth Institute of Technology degree, it was one of the most profitable corporations on Earth.

Robert House founded the company after he was cheated out of his inheritance by his brother.
