What are the levels below hobby grade?
I am surrounded by broken systems like Fanuc and Siemens. Their
programmers/tech can't even make their own systems operate properly
and they won't offer us their source.
For example we have a few new robots that they recently installed and
programmed, yet they crash into each other and the materials they
interact with near daily. Just lucky or incompetent factory tech staff?
The latter Bari. My observation's over my 90 years pretty well confirms
that. Having observed the level of factory service while chasing
electrons for a living for 75 years, some of the stuff I've found and
fixed is downright scary. As a CET and broadcast engineer, some things
I have done are magic to the EE's I've encountered. If they make a
mistake, its generally a doozy. Some of mine has been too.
The biggest problem with factory service techs is if they are good, they
aren't paid enough so they quit and start their own company, because
stuff they design to work, are overhauled by an MBA who actually knows
zip about the electricals, checking the BOM and over-ruling the
designers choice of parts. If it still works when he has subbed cheaper
parts, its the exception that proves the rule.
