For the commercial units seen so far with low mass plastic arms, the >danger of collision means damage to the arm. actually the outer casing of the Novag Robot arm was made out of industrial strenght steel or some similiar metal the grasping claw however,was plastic i have two robots one in perfect condition the second is defective in that the alignment of the arm is too low due to a broken gear of some sort this was damage caused in shipping the robot to me from the seller a pity really..in all other aspects the computer and arm work perfectly but with the arm too low it of course cannot pick up or place or capture pieces correctly very few Novag Robots still around today are not defective in some way after all, the computer was released for sale in 1982 over two decades ago.. Steve For fast experimental arms with >full size board capability, the danger is to the careless user. For that >reason, I wouldn't sell such an arm unless I had a signed liability waiver from >the end user.
