Re: What would a safe robot look like?
What about voltage and temperature ratings?
I know we don't use anything greater than 24v, and nothing gets especially hot under normal use. However, I might have a wire run that occasionally comes in contact with a motor body, which may be hot.
What can I expect from an unmarked piece of wire? Could it be anything? Or are there certain standards all wire must be produced to?

How about electrical tape? What is the voltage and temperature rating on 3 wraps of that?
