   That video was much dirtier and louder than I expected. Lots of brute force still involved. Not quite the domain of out of shape hackers. But I guess that's why we build robots.

   For anyone who wants a good safe cracking story, this book is excellent: https://www.amazon.com/Flawless-Inside-Largest-Diamond-Histo...

   A group of Italians went to Belgium's diamond district and bypassed an very expensive vault door. The best part was using an aerosol can of hair spray attached to a broom to defeat the top of the line motion sensors.

   Edit: Can anyone explain why it's a 30 minute test for UL 30x6?
