[Avid-L2] OT: Assistant Adjuster Tool?

Since clearly putting the actual tape asked for by Avid in the machine to capture is problematic for some assistants I need to find a device that will protect against such errors.  It should be usb 2/firewire 400/800 and or Esata connective.  I solid base for robust support while placed on the editing desk.  There needs to be a camera device mounted on a strong robotic arm.  The camera will optically detect the reel number from the Avid screen and then track the assistants hands as they pick up the supposed source reel.   Using OCR technology to compare the tape to the Avid's request if a mis match occurs the robotic arm will then bitch slap the assistant until they find the correct reel.  Time of Day code has increased my need for such a device.  Nothing like redoing outputs!  I'd rather have the device go postal so I don't have to.  I guess there's always Bob's shotgun.  Anybody know if it comes with a usb cable?  At least the San is
behaving today.  Oh crap, now I've done it.
