WERP_BOT is a cosy servant for eccentric smokers and is a 'must' for artsy-bars who wish to offer a delicious service for an aesthetic LIGHT UP. The robot is simply triggered by saying "TSCHIK" (meaning "ciggie" in Austrian slang). A few computational seconds later, an audio-signal indicates that starving smokers should pay a bit more attention, as the robot is preparing to launch the cigarette in its special designed "katapult-like-apparatus". According to its calculations the cigarette is fired directly into the smoker's mouth.
