so i got that perk. i walk up and hack bot, i now see a new command, "command". select it, now i can tell bot where to go like a companion. so there are a bunch of raiders holed up in a burned out building. i hack a police robot, tell it to move to the burned out building, it heads that way, i then try to hack the robot again to select the "self-destruct" option in the hopes it will walk over there and....boom but when i walk back up to bot, the ® hack option is gone, can not hack bot. is this a bug or how it is suppose to be?

ok, so it seems that if i command it to go somewhere, i have to wait till it gets there to hack it again. but still, is it possible to say, go here, then self destruct?

That command system drives me nuts, especially since I play with no HUD. What really drives me crazy is when I command them to go do something, then I try to do something like open a door or check a container, and I hear my character say "go there".

I am fairly sure if you tell it to start self destruct and you had it follow you at any time, it will start following you again... I recall being rather annoyed at that while running for my life...
