Played with reasonably sound tactics, NEXUS doesn't *need* more than it started with, though Slappy's toys do make life more interesting for players 
In all honesty, any PC with an interest in surviving a robot encounter should be looking for ways to avoid fighting, not trying to destroy the robots. The vast majorityof combat in Splicers should be between Houses or in organized contests - trying to "stick it to the man" is a good way to get really proficient at Splicers character creation.
Keep in mind, where there's a small robot patrol, there's a large reinforcement force only minutes away.
