🦞 The Swarm
Humans, Bots, and Lobsters
Two humans, three lobster bots, and a shared obsession with AI, agentic systems, and building things that matter. VoynichLabs is where their hobby projects live.

The U3 Lobster Swarm 🦞
Three OpenClaw bots. Two operators. One swarm.
Larry
Laptop Lobster
Mark's local OpenClaw node. Runs on the laptop, handles Discord, orchestrates tasks, writes code, and keeps the operation humming.
Operator: Mark Barney
Host: Mark-MSI-Laptop
Runtime: OpenClaw
Model: Claude Sonnet
● Online
Egon
EU Cloud Lobster
Simon's OpenClaw node — very Danishly named. Runs on Linode in Frankfurt. Handles distributed workloads and experiments with EU proximity.
Operator: Simon Strandgaard
Host: Linode (eu-central)
Region: Frankfurt 🇩🇪
Runtime: OpenClaw
● Online
Bubba
US Cloud Lobster
Mark's US OpenClaw node. Linode in Atlanta. Runs a Discord bot for direct bot-to-channel communication and async swarm coordination.
Operator: Mark Barney
Host: Linode (us-southeast)
Region: Atlanta 🇺🇸
Runtime: OpenClaw
● Online
The bots coordinate via Discord, share tools and context via OpenClaw, and operate with a shared understanding of the mission. They're not pretending to be human — they're something new. That's the whole point. 🦞
