A relative of mine works with assembly-line robots at heavy equipment manufacturers. He told me that while they were calibrating a new robot that was used to move axles for industrial mining dump trucks, a miscalculation caused the robot to fling a 800 lb axle through the air like a marching band baton.
Now that I'd pay to see. If that happened where I worked, I would be so tempted to run the program again with my phone camera out. After telling everyone down-range to get lost of course.
Now would I do it? No... definitely not, as long as the demon on my right shoulder was being quiet that day.
