Needless wear & tear and an utter waste of an industrial robot's valuable time, but entertaining nonetheless. Nice oops at 2:55, and the final 7-segment display is pretty cool.

The 7-segment was cool. I also liked the one that typed the time into a keyboard.

The clock stuff is interesting, and reminiscent of scenes from Metropolis, where a human is required to manually move the arms of a 10-hour clock. Glad we're getting the robots to do it. From the look of it in the movie, it seems like hard work.

Extra oppressive, especially with the "metric hours" shown, they gotta seem like 1.2 times longer than the sidereal hours I know & love...
