Step 2The Robot Arms
First things first - robot arms.
I had two pieces of the copper tubing - one a little bit longer than the other. Doc Ock has four robot arms, so I folded the lengths of copper in half. As you can see in the photo, they are not quite as long as they could be, but long enough. I decided to leave the lengths connected for strength.
The black electrical tape you see around the pipe insulation actually came later - I took most of these photos during disassembly. The electrical tape helped to keep the copper inside the insulation tubes. The tubes actually have an adhesive edge that would have worked great, but then I wouldn't be able to use them to insulate my pipes :-) It works visually too - Doc Ock's robot arms are segmented.
I also wrapped some duct tape around the ends of the copper - this was a safety precaution. When this is on your back and a copper tube pokes out, it can be a little dangerous to people around you.
