Caprisone.

The idea of this was a robot on a production line doing the same thing over and over. He is out of energy, but everything changes when he tries the drink. They were made out of brass and cast resin parts.

The robots were rod operated from under the set. Two of us sat on the floor under it trying to operate the arms in and out of the production line without tripping it all up. Another operator worked from behind the set.
