True, but the end points still need to be pretty precise I expect. What happens if some nut runner on the line manages to get inside the operating envelope? I would expect it to come to a halt with a big bang. Such stuff s/b wrapped in a light beam box. I would also expect it to start back up where it left off when the ID10T gets out of the way too.
