It always amazed me how little Star Trek used robots, even just remote arms, to do things. (Yeah, it's a side-effect of it being made for TV)

Trek wasn't made for logical consistency. They could duplicate Riker with a transporter accident, but they couldn't make another Data that way, they had an entire episode about deconstructing him, then another about him constructing a 'child' robot.
