If the rigger does the smart thing and stays out of combat,
then yes, I would award him with a survival point. IMHO,
if a PC is still alive at the end of the adventure, then
they've survived. (BTW, I only award survival points if
the adventure is designed to put the characters' life in
danger.)

As for the roleplaying award, if the Rigger interacts with
the rest of the group, no matter how they do it (in person,
through a speaker on their drone, by radio) and does a good
job of staying in character, then I give him roleplaying
awards (R2D2, from Star Wars, is a good example of just how
much character a drone can have).

Oh, I can believe it :)
