A former IBMer told me a story about working at some large US government tape library with a tape robot that was essentially a powerful industrial 6-axis arm with sensors on top of treads. It did a good job shuffling tapes until someone accidentally messed up one of it's guides, after which said robot proceeded to crash through a brick wall.
