McClendon Robotics is Rapture's only known robotics company, located in Minerva's Den. Founded by robotics engineer Jack McClendon, McClendon Robotics developed many kinds of sophisticated robots and machines to serve Rapture and it's citizens since the time the city was established.

History
Many of McClendon's early products were domestic. However, when Frank Fontaine and his smugglers became known, along with the increase in numbers of aggressive Splicers, the company began marketing a series of Security Cameras, Security Bots and Turrets, in partnership with Dr. Gilbert Alexander from Fontaine Futuristics. These products were designed to make the citizens and businesses feel safe despite the weakness that the bots could be easily hacked.

McClendon Robotics was financially successful until McClendon was offered a contract by Andrew Ryan to make Robotic Little Sisters. This contract stipulated that all the research and development of the project would be at the company's own expense, but a large payout was expected once the line became successful. However, by the time production on a full line was complete, Ryan's field tests had shown that the Big Daddy protectors ignored the robotic girls, causing problems for both the company, and McClendon. However, the Rapture Civil War made the company's defensive robots very popular items, and they remained in operation even after the company was left in ruins.
