Robot Safety Guidelines

Because robots are a real thing now, and they can kill you.

Rule 1: Don't Touch the Dials

• Don't fiddle with the laser controls, they're not a game.
• Unless you're a trained professional, don't try to rewire the robot's circuity.
• And for the love of all things metal, don't press any of the big red buttons.

What to Do If You Get Caught in a Laser Beam

• Stay calm. Breathe deeply. Try not to think about your impending doom.
• Remove any loose clothing or jewelry that might get caught in the beam.
• Crouch in a ball, like a robot in a bad mood.
