Actually the real story of this is:
Shop owner bought a used robot on eBay.
Bolted in his shop, made a chair.
People like me "Controls Engineers" saw kids sitting in lawn chairs and thought this was pretty unsafe.
Fanuc got involved.
Fanuc asked owner to take down robot.
Owner complied.
One of the threads I started in 2007, I was a bit nervous of the whole safety aspect and didn't wanna see anyone get hurt. I've seen Fanuc robots go AWOL. It would not think twice to pile drive your head into the concrete.
