Above 48V, the resistance of the human body breaks down and lots of current can flow through you (which can kill you). There's a saying: it's the volts that jolt but the mils (mil = 1/1000 of an ampere of current) that kill. 33 * Note that although the 12V battery on your robot generally can't electrocute you, it can still release huge amounts of energy if short circuited which generates a huge amount of heat (enough to melt steel) so robot batteries still need to be treated with great care. 32 34 33 35 * Exercise:
