The body was fairly easy - it's just more money (something I think Roman doesn't have problems sourcing). The programming? That's something else.

AI engineers who could create a reasonable facismilar of a human consciousness that is processing and memory-efficient enough to fit on a self-propelled chassis? That's rare. I'm not sure if we even have one on Earth so Roman had to make do with whatever recently graduated/fired CompSci majors he could find and pay off to be quiet about his little 'special project'. The results, as I think we will be seeing over the next volume or two of RWBY were... variable.
