Some more of the sort of trick guerilla groups might try, that might or might not work in any given case:

1. Poison the fuel. That is, try to introduce a contaminant into a storage supply of fuel for the robots, or their lubricants, or something else that the robots introduce into their own systems.

2. False flag attack. This works best if you've got some of the sort of humans who 'capture' robots working with you, like the 'Lori' character from the book. Capture/reprogram some combat robots, rig them up so they look and seem like robots belonging to another Z-mind (which would have to include the recognition signals), and ambush some robots belonging to a different Z-mind. Set it up right and you might trick them into going to war with each other, or at least pounding away for a bit until it's all sorted out.

2a. Use the same trick to make a Z-mind think one of its supervisor units at a robofacs has gone rogue.

3. Make a general habit of blowing maglev lines, roads, and so forth, not with a specific goal in mind so much as to disrupt logistics.
