Well, since we can have electric spikes now, we could probably retool the anklebiter into a shocking ram modification and save a fork in the process. The limits of low level programming wouldn't hamper it's offensive capabilities as much either, since it need only ram people.

Also, since we're hurting for better chemistry, we might as well try combining a hallucinogen with a reactive.

You decide not to make an acid bomb yet, stroking your beard. You'd need an activation system. Plus, the little Anklebiter is kinda cute. If he's gonna die...

You stroke your beard and look at the Reactants in your Amateur Chemistry Set. "Best he go out in style."

First, though - electric spikes? Yes, please. You conclude if you used two copper wires and cut them up properly (luckily you found a ruler), you could electrify the whole sets of spikes as well as the forks and knives with 2 wires and 1 solder. You notice you're running awfully low on copper wire, though. You'll have to decide if it's worth it.

The bayonet idea strikes you, but the balance and (again) the very short blade on the switchblade make it poorly suited to mount on a robot.

Meanwhile, you're not sure what adding two different Reactants together would do, but you're not sure if it would be wise to do inside.

They called you mad, but that's just plain unsafe.

>determine formula (OF SCIENCE!) For a taser, and find what parts you don't have.
I'm thinking: 2 small metal implements (fork tines?) 1 copper wiring + 1 mid-high voltage battery + 1-2 solder + 2 springs/1 gunpowder (optional: adds range) + 1 casing (optional: enables hand-held use) = 1 MAD SCIENCE taser.

>ponder a way to turn the switchblade (springloaded, I'd assume) into a decently accurate (single-use) knife thrower

>mount tube casing on Spiked Koopah Anklebiter, to protect the electricy bits. Use one particularly pointy fork as part of the stabby bit. Alternatively, use 2, hooked up to the same extender mechanism, and electrified by the other battery.
1 battery + 1 wire + 2 metal implements = 1 improvised taser, to be hooked up to an existing small killbot

>To the junkyard!!

EDIT: The problem with electrified spikes is that it's a lot easier for them to accidentally hurt us. I vote we take two particularly pointy forks and make an improvised taser, strap it to our killbot, and go to the freakin' junkyard. Remember: we need more stuff.

We don't need to pimp out the Anklebiter that much, I guess.

As for "working" or "trading" for parts, I say we head to the junk yard and scare anyone there off with random babbling about SCIENCE!

Also, how can batteries shock people, they are to weak, so let's not waste wire yet.Instead try to make a trap with a spare bucket and the pushpin coverd in the sedative, there are bound to be rats around here, and we could use a live specimen to test upon
Also, stop posting while i write, 5 posts allready!

Batteries are not weak, but the discharge is too slow to hurt anyone significantly. The solution: build a capacitor. I think we could make one from a Tin Plate, but I can't remember what tin's electrical properties are...

That is indeed a good point. I think the best our current arsenal of electronic doom could do is make the do-gooder masses feel a slight tingle. An excruciatingly pointy fork and some sedative/hallucinogen, however...

This calls for a multi-meter.
Take wires and a simple circut board, devise a way to interface it with the laptop and then program a multi-meter application so we can measure anything electrical we might need

YOU CAN'T REPROGRAM IT UNTIL YOU HIT LEVEL 2

QUIT TRYING

>To the junkyard.

You're unsure about the ballistics elements as of yet, but you find
Taser: 2 Prongs, 1 Copper Wiring, 2 Solder, 1 High-Voltage Battery, 1 Casing
to be a suitable design.

You can't think of any way to make a knife-thrower with the switchblade yet.

Before you go, you decide to start some penicillin growing in case you get an infection, but have no suitable fungus. Curses!

You feel like you're about ready to head to the junkyard, Anklebiter in tow!

Do you wish to make use of your chemicals on the Anklebiter's weapons before you go?

We do not have simple circuits.
We do not have the capabilities to make a knife thrower, nor a taser, nor a multimeter, nor a shocking spike.
All we can do at the moment is go to the junkyard wielding a metal pipe.

A rat trap wouldn't be such a bad idea; something to improve skills while gathering small poison testers with. We'd probably need bait, though, if we intend to actually catch anything. Furthermore, sedatives may be more useful applied elsewhere. I think a simple drop trap would suffice.

Also, considering potential explosions, it's probably best that we wait until daytime to try out new chemicals. Disrupting the peace too often could draw police attention a bit earlier than necessary.

Finally, it'd be easier to find more stuff in the junkyard during the day, but meh, too late it seems.

use the sedative hallucinogen on the pointy ends... we can take out the owner and any guard dogs.
