That said that is an amazing bot... bots?
I actually think even if their tether died to Robin (Guessing that is the HP Tote Receiving portion)...That many bots already seen, could still attempt to pick up lots of short 2 tote stacks from it at least if the default gate position was gate down, if the power is accidentally cut to it. So still probably not a loss of the human station...and a great HP too!

Rules say that a tethered bot in multiple pcs. is still 1 Robot this year folks. (As long as it enters & leaves the field in the Transport config. and disassembly (setup), & assembly (departure), actions can each be accomplished in about 1 minute each. (Making that work is the trick they accomplished VERY WELL). "Rube Goldberg would be very proud." What an RG Machine.
