People who aren’t mechanics or engineers in a robotics or manufacturing field don’t realize just how powerful and fast a servo motor actually is. Especially without a speed-reducing gearbox. Even a modestly small vpl servo can do vast amounts of damage if installed incorrectly or if it comes loose from a mount or coupling.

Yeah, there are reasons why robot arms in factories are in cages, because they will pretty much just kill you if you get in the way of the arms.
