I think the area was cordoned off well enough so that rivets wouldn't hit pedestrians but them could still hit workers. “Some guy tossing red hot rivets clear across a beam to the other guy with a bucket.”

Specifically, predicting the impact point of an airborne object could make anti-missile defense on battleships much more effective.

Some guy tossing red hot rivets clear across a beam to the other guy with a bucket. You miss that puppy and it is gonna hit some pedestrian on the head, drilling into his or her skull. Never mind it's gonna cook the brain once inside. Granted most hirises are welded now, but there is a use for this type of robotic configuration in construction, I'm sure!

I see a 100,000 automated back-catcher coming to a baseball diamond soon. :) That is one crazy robot. I see a 100,000 automated back-catcher coming to a baseball diamond soon. :)
