We have 40 manufacturing robots in our plant. An easy 99% of the time the robots do indeed do things perfectly. It only takes that 1% where somebody programed it wrong, the material was off spec, it was too hot, it was too cold, there was a power surge, there was a power drop, the compressor was off by 5 PSI, etc, etc, etc, etc.
All in all it happens.

Also remember you are not going to see videos of the robots screwing up on YouTube unless it is all blurry and smuggled out.
