I just had a visualization of the Raspberry Pi operating inside a microwave
with one minute entered so one need only press start to cook the bot.  For
extra assurance you can perch the microwave over a bathtub full of water so
either you can extinguish the inevitable flames or to double-tap with water
water survives the microwaves.

Of course, the whole thing is moot because it already lives in the cloud
and is immune to any single cpu failure.
