Looks like I'll be working on robots, after all

That's awesome. Congrats!

Congrats James, you deserve it.

When we having another 'pick Snover's mind' thread?

Awesome James. I work on mainly FANUC, but a little Kawasaki and Nichi. Would love to tinker with a Kuka one day.

You’ll love it. Especially if the let you fart around on them every once in a while.

 

[CobraBob]

That is awesome James! Nobody deserves it more than you. I know it will be a job you'll love doing. Keep us posted.

 

[James Snover]

I was hoping you were going into the sex robot business. I know a Snover sex-bot would be a quality product....

Seriously though, congrats. Is this a publicly traded company that we should be investing in? If ya know what I mean.

The robot manufacturer is Kuka. The parent company, I'm not supposed to say. But it's a big, German outfit.

 

[James Snover]

Welcome to the industry! Just watch out, those robots move faster and are stronger than they look!

That's a fact! This thing can accelerate and decelerate so fast it rips the filaments right out of the xray tube cathode. It can cycle from one end of the patient to the other at 27mph, over a ten-foot distance. They have to program specific acceleration/deceleration curves in it to keep it from destroying the $140,000.00 xray tube by moving it too quickly.

Congratulations! Very interesting stuff. I made a living placing automation engineers since the late 80's, but never delved far into robotics engineers and techs. They were always too hard to find.

And that is how Skynet started and the machines rose up to enslave the human population.

Ha! I'm gonna fix it. The old saying is, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Now, it's gonna be: "The hand that wields the torque wrench is the hand that rules the world." Hey, robot overlord, you wanna new drive motor? You talk to me.

Is this for your robots or the Snover SexBot65000? We could have fun with a SVTP Themed bot. The Brown Recluse! The Papa John! On and on...

Don't forget the "Looks Like a Solstice," and the incredibly dangerous, but ever popular, "PIIHB" models. That dang 'ol PIIHB will get you if you don't keep a sharp eye on it. NEVEr turn your back on the PIIHB!

 

[capnkirk52]

LMAO. I must have had too many last night if I forgot about PIIHB. Call me crazy but I think we're on to something here.

Anytime. But I cant imagine as big as the place has become anyone would be interested.
