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.

eBay: ROBOT INDUSTRIAL FANUC S420iW (item 160087251047 end time Feb-28-07 18:19:12 PST) - [via] Link.
