Kes: I know I'm just a product of the '80s because I just keep seeing bad sf horror movie all over this. Also, I want Crispin Glover to be the voice of Quantum.

Yes, this looked like another "let's replace an expensive knowledge and experienced driver with a piece of tech that has about half a dozen points of failure": I seriously don't see how a robot arm is more secure than the four secure points that are manually operated by a human.
