Rufus Terrill, owner of a downtown Atlanta bar named O'Terrills, has had it with the drug dealers and vandals around his business. So, he has done what any sane American man would do in this situation—build a robot out of a meat smoker to lay down the law. The "BumBot," as many of O'Terrills' patrons have dubbed it, is basically a meat smoker mounted onto a three-wheeled scooter. Armaments include a spotlight, loudspeaker, water cannon and an infrared camera. Plus, the whole thing is covered in rubber for protection.
When necessary, Terrill fires up the 400lb device and powers it from
afar with a remote control. Using the control and a walkie-talkie, he
approaches the vagrants around his bar and a local day care center to
inform them via the robot's loudspeaker that they are trespassing on
private property. If that doesn't do the trick, he gets rough with the
water cannon.
