DIY Robot ride robot for sale... FANUC S420iW

08Fb 3
The same (type of) robot used in the now famous "DIY robot ride" is now for sale on eBay - only $10k!

This auction is for a used 1997 FANUC S420iW Industrial robot with RJ-2 Controls in a remote "B" cabinet. This robot has a capacity rating of 346 pounds and was at one time used in a Nissan Motor Plant. It is NOT intended to be a "RIDE" and I do not reccomend doing so. Fanuc also does NOT support the use of this machine as a "JOY RIDE". Using this robot in such a manner can be hazardous to your health!!! I have no further use for this unit and I am looking to sell. With the money from this sale I will be in the market for an ArcMate 100i with PowerWave 455 welding machine.

You are an idiot if you think you can ride this thing like in the YouTube videos. That's a real good way to make your floor VERY RED and splattered with grey matter.....
