Learning from the lessons of the 1%, I set forth to outsource our occupy-related 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

1A.jpg

You will need:
- A robot (My robot's name is Emiglio. 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)
- 4' x 3/4 PVC pipe
- Something for a sign board (I used acrylic, but cardboard would do)
- Something to write a slogan (I used acrylic paint, but a Sharpie would work)
- Some tape, nuts and bolts, and zip ties
- And whatnot

What you should do now is add gps and put motors on it, so it can walk (roll?) around while it talks through its megaphone.

I am the 99%. They(Occupy) need some sort of goal to make anything happen though.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Can you please post a youtube video!? I want to blog this on wordpress!
randofo (author) in reply to Revolt LabNov 18, 2011. 10:09 AM
If you click the embed option in the top right of the video, it will give you embed code that should work on a Wordpress blog.

I was able to use that code on my blog.

Let me know if that doesn't work.
