I don't think that's a good solution.
Obviously it's a matter of degrees. Most motored systems aren't moving that quickly, don't have that much kinetic energy. These canburglars honestly seems more dangerous to me than a robot driving full speed. Compare those to an actuating tote-grabbing mechanism. You don't think the average inspector can tell the difference?

Show me a robot that has an ultrafast canburglar and is always disabled or unpowered when it isn't on the field.
