This is one of the more popular DIY items the bot has been buying, along with quite a few other Raspberry Pi and Arduino packages. A little shiny block of copper to cool down your next project.

Your Bot Electrocuted Me!
I got this funny story from a subscriber by email…
I thought it was odd at first that Bobcat would send me an ordinary pen. I thought maybe it would have special ink so I tried to engage it and scribble on a pad of paper. Nope! BZZZT!
I totally got pranked by your bot.
Item Of The Day: Red Paper Clip
A subscriber sent in a picture of this package the bot sent him…a red paper clip with a bit of string. As it has been shown you can trade a red paper clip for a house this really is quite a steal for a dollar or two!
Seeds
One of the bot’s subscribers wrote today…
“The bot delivered an unexpected package weeks after I’d stopped getting them – an apricot seed. Now I have apricot, pomegranate, safflower, rose, and pine. I’m going to have to give them a shot and see if the seeds are viable or not. Well…maybe not the pine, since I don’t know the species. I have no use for a tree that could end up being a hundred feet tall.”
About 2% of all the products ordered by the bot are seeds of one kind or another. Not a huge fraction. But still a significant number of seeds going to people who had no intention of planting something before the bot decided to send them some seeds.
Item Of The Day: Galaxy Bracelet With Leather Bands
This nifty bracelet was bought by the bot earlier this year for Heather who writes for the blog Shades of Tangerine. She writes “here is one of my very favorite Bobcat deliveries. I would purchase this from a store, and the fact that it was only $1 is pretty freaking awesome.”

Item Of The Day: Glass Holiday Gems
These 10 holiday gems were bought by the bot in March for Heather who writes for the blog Shades of Tangerine. The bot is rather clueless when it comes to the seasons. She writes “Look at the cuteness on these teeny tiny gems. Everything about them is adorable.I don’t know what purpose they will serve yet, but they are too charming to overlook.” Now that they are in season, I am sure she will find a use for them.

Item Of The Day: Lego Mona Lisa
Here is MerchMan Dan’s first unboxing video, where you can see one of the lego items that the bot found on the web… a tiny Mona Lisa on a lego 2×2 plate.
If you are interested and have the time, check out all his unboxing videos as the bot only bought him legos (which was his only keyword).

Item Of The Day: Bear Shaped Sandwich Cutter
This adorable bear shaped sandwich cutter was bought by the bot earlier this year for Heather who writes for the blog Shades of Tangerine. She writes “Now this is adorable. I will absolutely be saving this to make sweet little sammies for my niece!”. It certainly does look adorable.
