@MrJomnp You mean carbon footprint? Maybe the energy comes from windfarms, or soon will. What's disgusting? Would you rather humans did the repetitive work of robots and got repetitive-strain injuries while their minds turn to jelly?

[MrJomnp]

that is a good way to reduce the human footprint..............spendin­g lots of energy on machines, disgusting.

how easy is it to program motoman/etc for packaging and other jobs when youve already learned to program and maintain them for manufacturing work?
