It may be ruled illegal for being unsafe.

It's unsafe. See Al's post. If I was making the ruling, I would probably reference both rules - the limitation for 100V from the negative terminal of the battery provides good guidance on safety considerations, even if you try to lawyer it and say the 100V is isolated from the robot battery. This should not be ruled legal at any venue.
