- Composable parts that fit together to be a giant robot, like Voltron

- New direction for an old character:
- Less superhero, more realistic
- Less "good," more neutral
- Less human, more about automation
- ETH Bot represents credible neutrality: just a machine with no ideology of its own
- Its lifeless, not actually a character but a machine that is controlled by a group of decentralized autonomous agents (Anons)
- The parts of ETH bot represent different parts of the Web3 stack

- The parts fit together to represent how these layers successfully coordination to make change that none of them would be able to accomplish individually
- ETH Bot is a weapon against Moloch. The character should be illustrated more like a tool or weapon than a person.
- Laid out like a schematic or blueprint:

- Less human and more like a pure robot:

- Composed of many different kinds of parts and technology:

- Kinda silly, but really inspired by the Love Machine in Jodorowsky's *Holy Mountain*!

Ok @Hörr I've been thinking about the 5 bots that will come together to make up this big walking city ETH Bot you made. This is tricky, since the 5 bots are each referencing tech companies and why they are important. I wanted to make it as easy on you as possible and not get caught up in technical explanations, so I found these videos that briefly describe each company. I also want to give you as much freedom as possible, so you can interpret and sketch these bots however makes sense for you and once we have a drawing to reference I can give you some detailed feedback. How does that sound?
First Bot: DAI
Watch the video on their website: https://makerdao.com/en/
Second Bot: The Graph
Here's a written explanation: https://thegraph.com/blog/introduction-to-the-graph/
But its probably better just to watch this video: https://youtu.be/ANDeiXFiYC4
Third Bot: Wallet Connect
This is a pretty straightforward concept, so I think their website is fine. Let me know if you want more explanation on this.
https://walletconnect.com/
Fourth Bot: Gnosis Safe + Zodiac
These are two different products that a company called Gnosis creates.
To learn about Safe, watch the video on their website: https://safe.global/
To learn about Zodiac (which is a bit more complicated) I found this short video: https://youtu.be/9QCFwR6U_S8
I think this one will be kinda tricky, so let me know if you have questions.
Fifth Bot: Gitcoin
Gitcoin used to be a kind of bounty system for supporting independent workers. This video explains what they used to focus on: https://youtu.be/DJartWzDn0E
Then they evolved into a focus on Quadratic Funding and a platform for supporting grant distribution for project. This is explained here: https://youtu.be/HJljTtLnymE
Also on this website: https://wtfisqf.com/?grant=&grant=&grant=&grant=&match=1000
This is probably the most difficult bot conceptually because it could be interpreted in so many different ways, but it could also be easier because there's a lot of information that explains it.
