If you don't think robots are taking over the world...

...think again.

Industrial accident kills Grand Blanc area man at Pontiac plant
A local man was killed in an industrial accident Tuesday at a Pontiac facility. Police identified the man as Steven McGirr, 46, and said he is from the Grand Blanc area.

McGirr was killed after cleaning a sensor on a robotic arm about 4 a.m. at Hydrodynamic Technologies Inc., on Silverdome Drive in Pontiac, Sgt. William Ware of the Pontiac Police Department said.

When the sensor was clean, the robotic arm grabbed McGirr and shoved him into a press. McGirr was killed instantly.

*smash computer mouse*

I'm not taking any chances...

Ungrateful metallic cur. That robot should be tried and executed. Publicly.

ouch, that sounds incredibly painful even with the "died instantly" claim. but i could totally picture a HAL voice "please clean my censor dave"

If someone grabbed my telescoping sensor, I'd retaliate too...

I think that industrial robot was sent from the future. McGirr was suppose to lead the revolution!

The "good" robots of the future don't have sensor cleaning technology and that leads to their downfall to the "evil" robots. You can't atomize what you can't see.
