But then agian, that was more me putting my safety in the hands of our drivers and not a program (well, a program too, but you know what I mean)

FIRST robots aren't as (rapidly) dangerous as industrial robots (Kuka, Fanuc, Adept, etc.) like there are in the videos previously posted... Where a first robot might have a total drive power of a couple horsepower, the six axis robots with a high enough payload to move people routinely have 5HP+ in its axes... not to mention the industrial robotic arms themselves weigh in in the multiples of tons, not 120lbs.
Well ok, just being a safety concerned person. I can't make you not do it, but if you do... I told you so!
