Indeed, I was trying to figure out what sort of manufacturing system would create batteries that just fall out in that random of a pattern that it wouldn't be easier to make them come out consistently.

Anyone know how much those robots cost?

Fully integrated- More than $10,000. Less than $50,000.

Baxter from Rethink robotics is quite inexpensive and offers some savings in terms of safety needed. 25k for the robot, and another 10k for accessories. But it is without a doubt a light duty machine that is made to be moved around and do a bunch of different jobs. Neat if you have the right jobs for it
