Have you every wanted something that you just couldn't
afford? or several things? Have you ever contemplated
stealing the objects of your desires but couldn't handle
dealing with the potential guilt.
This is a family of robotic devices engineered to seek out
and
gather the objects that its
owner specifies as required
while
insulating its owner from the process of gathering.
This system converts guilt type and thus makes the
process more pleasurable, guilt for something you did
transitions easily to guilt from something you didn't
actually do and is easier to deal with.

"I prayed to God for a Harley-Davidson. But then I remembered that
God doesn't work that way ... so I stole a Harley-Davidson, and prayed
for forgiveness..." |

No, absolutely not. Why do you ask ? |
|
|
Is there a 'bot that does Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX's ? |
|

I thought for a second how I would love to have my own
baby elephant and how I couldn't possibly afford or steal
one or afford to steal one if I got caught. This is how I
got to this idea and I am surprised that its not already a
secretive dark industry. I'm surprised people aren't being
taken yet? |
|
|
I envisioned a drone capable of snatching up a baby
elephant and delivering it to my yard. Then I thought that
i would need to be careful to return it before it got too
big. |

If you engineer a poacherbot big enough you can have
anything you want. Why not acquire the aircraft of your
choosing? |
|
|
Because there are only two airworthy Avro Lancasters in existence
and if one goes missing it's quite likely that someone's going to
notice, which means that even if you have it you can't fly it anywhere
without awkward questions being asked, so it would have to stay in as
hangar, which is not only no fun but also totally bad and wrong. |
|
|
you could wrap the entire plane in black electrical tape like
they do in Manhattan with stolen bikes. This way you could
fly it as much as you like and not have to worry about
awkward questions. |

If 8th is having merlin powered kit, I want a DeHavilland
Hornet. |
|
|
Well, at least it's not in other:general |
|
|
It's probably better to train crows to steal pound
coins and jewellery. |
|
|
But if you trained cows they could carry more stuff. |
|
|
//Well, at least it's not in other:general |
|
|
I salute reflexively every time someone says that these days. |
|
|
Logically, the first step would be to poach everyone else's poacherbot, so you can poach uninterruptedly. |
