A short-stacking bot should be an achievable goal. Playing short-stacked really simplifies the decisions: fold, or push all-in. Once you hit an all-in win, leave the table. Perfect strategy for a bot to use.
The problem is that it is also one of the most detectable patterns for pokerstars staff to catch onto.

It's really not as simple as you say. 20BB (BB = big blinds), the usual minimum starting stack size, is too large for a fold/shove strategy to be profitable. You need to do a lot of limp-reraising and squeezing pre-flop, and you also need to not be terrible post-flop, since, e.g., after a raise of 3 BB with one caller, the pot is 6BB and you still have 17BB.
