Playing an ALIENS-Style Knife Game with a Robot Seems Like a Great Way to Lose a Finger

Remember the scene in Aliens in which the android Bishop does the "knife trick" with Bill Paxton's Hudson?

If you had access to a robot and a knife, wouldn't you want to strap the knife to the robot and recreate this scene to the best of your ability? What's that? You wouldn't? Because you're a sane human being? Oh, right. That's the correct answer. But as Sploid pointed out to me, not all of us are sane. This thing may start out a little slow, but by the end, it ramps up to "oh HELL no" speed.

Five finger fillet with Staubli TX40 robot speeding up for the second pass. A demonstration of confidence in Staubli speed and precision (and my programming!) by my next door neighbour.
