Using a 775pro in Dusty Conditions

This is really, really fine dust. As in, tyvek suit, dust mask, and safety glasses just to enter the operation area (see next to my WAI photo), and a respirator if you're in there longer than a couple minutes. I don't remember the exact size, but that's pretty fine...

Oh, and the robots get vacuumed on exiting, trying to get all of the dust off or out. I don't think there's anything conductive, but it's hard to say for sure.
