Geesh- most of these postings sound like OSHA nightmares!!!!
Our closest call was when out big arm bot "Cradle Robber" from 2000 was doing a demo to a bunch of kids. The ENGINEERS (not the kids!) were operating it and somehow torqued the arm around really fast, flipping the machine over and on top of a little kid in the audience. It sliced him on the forehead quite nicely. Frankly, hearing this I thought our program was over!! But apparently the incident was handled in due course and we survived to play two more years so far.
I always tell my guys that our machines ARE OSHA nightmares and not toys to be messed with.
It sounds like many teams should get educated in FIRST Aid!!
