Well, a balloon rubbed on your head can be 5 to 10 kV, too, but the amount of charge stored on the balloon is sufficiently small to render it quite harmless... That comment wasn't a criticism so much as a statement of "huh."

I'm wondering what we're doing differently that we never get zaps from our robot, in spite of building during the driest time of the year and without having special tricks to keep from getting shocked... ...because I'd really rather it not happen to our robots during a game!
