just out of interest, how do we stand legally if faulty wiring results in an accident where a lead screw mechanism activates due to sustained battle damage?

my example being, if i made something similar to big nipper, and fought kan opener. i sustain damage, and a power line is crushed to the chassis. the robot remains fully powered with the link out (can happen) and as i put it on the table, without a locking device, it cuts someones bits off.

my point being, for the sake of exempting lead screws, are is it worth risking a freak, but feasable accident.

I suggest taking the wording as is, but removing the lead screw exemption, as if this is kept in we should also exempt hydraulic robots, as they have no acumulators and so cannot operate without electric power.

any thoughts?
