Anyone familiar with the Braaaaains achievement from the Zombie Island DLC will have a fair idea of what is in store for this achievement!
The first mission you are given in the Revolution DLC is from Patricia Tannis. She wants you to collect 6 Claptrap Parts which are scattered around the Hyperion Dump nearby. This is simple enough as each of the items is marked up on your radar. You'll come across a few enemies to kill as you make your way around the dump but nothing too taxing.
Take these back to Tannis and you are given a second mission, which is to collect a further 42 Claptrap parts from the dump, except rather than being marked up as collectables, these ones are simply obtained from dead claptraps... that you have killed. Much like the brains in the zombie DLC.
Head back to the dump and head left to the area marked on the map (where the 6th part was from the original mission), and you should find around 50 claptraps waiting for a fight. Most of them will give up a part (be it Wires, Gears or Motherboards) when they die, so if you are lucky you should be able to score all 42 in one visit (if not see below).
When you turn in the mission.... you've guessed it. Tannis wants you to go and get another 75 parts, then another 100, then another 150! After that you're done.
The technique I used to speed (sort of) through these missions was simply to head to the dump, kill everything in sight and collect the parts (usually between 35 and 40), then save the game, exit and reload, guaranteeing a fresh set of claptraps each time. This method allowed me to get the 75 parts in 2 reloads, the 100 in 3 reloads and the 150 in 4 reloads.
By the time I had cashed in the last mission I was down to just 6-7 minutes per reload, so I guess the whole thing may only have taken just over an hour using the above method. Having said that, I did have a very helpful Bloodwing (with Level 5 Explosive Wing) who did most of the killing for me while I just ran round and picked up the parts.

Thank you for this, all I needed was the 150 by the time i was done with everything, but this was an awesome guide.

Better yet...
In the back right-hand corner of the Minac fight zone, there is a room with a green garbage can in the back. Jump behind the bin and walk away from the game. Each time I attempted this, after 3 hours I had some 500 odd pieces, be they something mundane, like motherboards, or something quite more exotic, the elusive pizza. Works everytime.
****One Important Caveat****
- can NOT be accomplished using a wireless controller

Post Script :
for any curious readers out there.
As a previous poster mentioned, the Minac spews claptraps from doors on it's body. The above method is effective as the MINAC not only dispenses them, but also runs them over.

If you have a Play & Charge Kit then you can use a Wireless Controller to hide behind the Dumpster/Bin..

I chose to combine BusyRich's method with a MINAC grind for maximum efficiency.
By first visiting Hyperion Dump, you can net ~45 quest items in close proximity to Tannis (the quest-giver). Then, move down into Tartarus Station and move east along the wall to enter Wayward Pass. Battling through this area will bring you to the MINAC boss battle in the Arid Badlands.
Rotating between these two areas will ensure you utilise your time efficiently, while also allowing units to respawn in one area while you are traveling to or fighting in the other.
Some ***KEY*** notes for fighting MINAC:
-shoot out all turrets and play it close so the eye laser cannot hit you
-CL4P-TP units actually spawn inside the larger MINAC unit. You can kill them by firing into the opened doors. By doing so, you are killing them while they spawn (and are thus not moving)... this allowed me to get 20-30 quest items each time MINAC's doors opened.
This method allows you to net quite a few quest items from the dump and then gather the remaining quantity in the MINAC battle before returning to Tannis. Remember to return to her when your quest is complete! You are moving too quickly if your second sweep through Wayward Pass has no mini-boss battles-- you may need to exit and start the game again.
Having difficulty picking up quest-only items out of those piles of loot? Stand in the middle of a large pile, hover over a quest item and hold X-- you will pick up all nearby money and quest items.

You must complete 4 missions from Tannis, who is located right where you start in Tartarus Station. For these missions, you must collect rebel claptrap parts, which drop after killing a claptrap.The missions (and part required to complete them) are as follows:
Fight For Your Right To Part-E (collect 42 parts)
Parts Is Parts (collect 75 parts)
We All Have Our Part To Play (collect 100 parts)
A Part Of Something Larger Than Yourself (collect 150 parts)
Do not waste time collecting more parts once you have completed one. For example, if you have collected 42 parts for Fight for Your Right to Part-E and continue to collect parts before turning it in and starting Parts Is Parts, the extra parts you picked up will not count towards the next mission. So be sure to stop collecting parts once a mission is complete and ready to "turn in."
The two best places to find claptraps for their parts are in the factory in the Dividing Faults area and farming MINAC (final boss in DLC). Though the factory is a good place to farm claptraps, farming MINAC is the better route since claptraps continue to respawn endlessly until you defeat MINAC. Additionally, this will help go towards obtaining other trophies in the DLC related to claptrap item drops.
Once you've completed all 4 missions and turned them in to Tannis, the trophy will unlock.
Happy Hunting :)

This is similar to Brains from the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. You aren't required to collect as many brains though. This is very similar in the way that if you have the required amount for the quest, any more you pick up will be voided out. You have to collect components from Clap-Traps that you kill. These consist of: Wires, Motherboards and Gears. These don't drop all the time, but they will drop frequently enough. There are four parts to the quest. Here is the amount required per quest.
1: 42 components
2: 75 components
3: 100 components
4: 150 components

Tennis will give you a mission, you will need to kill claptraps and all sorts of things will fall out of them: motherboards, pizzas, 3D glasses, oil dishes, fish in bags, etc. in total there will be 4 such missions. In the first you will need to collect 42 things, in the second 75 , in the third 100, in the fourth 150.
