OCCU(PI) Bot by Randy Sarafan November 2011 http://fffff.at/occupi-bot/
Learning from the lessons of the 1%, I set forth to outsource our occupyrelated labor to a robotic workforce. Robots obviously have many advantages over their human counterparts. For instance, robots never get tired, they don’t get cold, they don’t sleep, nor eat, don’t require tents, and when armed insurrection becomes necessary, robots are much more morally ambivalent. Additionally, we had a discussion with an unnamed member of the San Francisco police force and they confided in us that the police currently do not have any plan for dealing with robotic occupiers. For all of those reasons and more, I present to you Occu(pi) Bot; the first in a promising line of tireless, unstoppable, robotic class warriors. Step 1: Go get stuff You will need: - A robot (My robot’s name is Emilio. He is Italian) - A megaphone (or battery-powered amplifier) - An 1/8" male-to-male stereo cable - Optional Arduino and Wave Shield (or a tape recorder and computer) - M-type plug (also optional - see step 5) - 9V battery clip (also optional - see step 5) - 9V battery (also optional - see step 5) - Soap dish (also optional - see step 5)
