Yeah, okay there Roy, yeah, if you were gonna be up to no good, like, you know, taking a package on the front porch and a cat just walked up to you, you're just gonna laugh at it, but if a dog walked up to you, you'd be like, oops. And yeah, I used to program and repair industrial robots as part of my job many, many moons ago. ABB Robotics, a Saya Brown Bavaria, I think it is, mainly the IRB series and there was some fun and games with them and you had to go and do a site visit, a field service engineer, various customers and seeing the state that some of those robots got in. One was an IRB 60 so it could actually pick up easily at 60 kilos in weight and it actually had plastic, 20 kilogram sacks and coming down a conveyor belt and then of course it stopped and it came up and it actually used vacuum suction then to pick up the bag and put it on a pallet, in other words, it was actually doing a palletizing type operation. But it was alright until you actually, you could do it, you could do the palletizing pretty quick, but something went wrong and it went to maximum speed. So it was picking up these 20 kilo bags and just weren't hitting the pallet, they were just flying everywhere, hitting the cage around it, you know, the safety cage and they were actually, no, plastic pallets, oh my, it was just, they were everywhere, absolutely everywhere and trying to walk on them was really, really good fun. You know, everybody was sliding everywhere. So yeah, we've had some fun with those kinds of robots going, going wild shall we say there, Roy. KI7PKL from TWA-ZL.
