Think about it: a "low-cost robot" (read imprecise), with hacked-together software (read non-certified for safety-critical). Then you hand it a weapon (even though a training type) and get close enough for it to whack you? Not me, brother. How about taking your Power Glove, clamping on some Eyephones (or a cheaper equivalent), and firing up a Virtual Reality with a simulated partner to practice with. If the simulation breaks down, at least it doesn't thrash around with a foil!
