Re: What would a safe robot look like?

I'll start with insulation.
To be perfectly honest, I have my own thoughts about what is acceptable. However, I'm curious what the consensus is.

Is electrical tape okay as an insulator?

Is heat-shrink okay as an insulator?

To what degree? (Would it be acceptable to take a bare piece of wire, wrap it in electrical tape, and put it on your robot?)

How much copper can be left exposed?
