Possibly, though you'd think they would already have them. Than Scotty wouldn't have to crawl around in the wall tube. Yet we never saw any service robots until the Exocomps.

Even after that we didn't see anything like that.

I thinkthe Federation just hates automation.

The kicker is we know they could make Lal. So if the brain ges swapped out for a basic computer, presto! Instant service robot/battle droid.

Give her a personal shield and maybe a sword and have something to fight Borg drones with.

What good would a sword do against the borg?

The same thing Worf's machete did. Kill them.

Still come in handy in hand to hand combat.

A bayonet would be better honestly. A knife and when mounted on the rifle it becomes a short spear.

You could also build an android in a shape that isnt humanoid soas to make it a better fighter. Built in weapons ect.

That was only two borg. Earlier I believe they took out more then two borg before they adapted to phasers.

And if the borg really couldn't adapt to kinetic weapon don't you think that somewhere along the line one of the over 10,000 species they've encountered would've exploited that weakness.

Can we move onto an arguement that makes sense now?

You;d think they would also run not walk so lets not give them to much credit shall we.

That's different then having a major weakness that could be exploted my anything with claws or a fist.

I'd say their zombie like walk is a bigger probelm than their lack of kinetic shields.
