It's amazing how much those robotic arms cost new and how little value they have after.  I worked for an asset management company and one of the banks we worked with had forclosed on a bunch of equipment including several robotic arms. They basically were worth scarp metal value and not really even worth the time & labour to move them.

Pretty sad really, with this extreme movement towards "greening" the planet that we overlook some of the bigger things are are contributing to the destruction of earth such as consumerism and the move towards throwaway products.
