>a kid made a reasonable kid movement
What do you mean? There's no reasonable time where you and your opponent are touching the pieces at the same time. Nor is there a reasonable time where you reach for the same piece.

A robotic arm like this not a toy, is a deadly machine with a lot of force and a lot of mass. If you were standing next to it for some reason it could unexpectedly swing around and break your neck in an instant. Engineers should be careful to design such systems with failsafes that account for any action the operator might take.
Children are literally wired for physical experimentation and echopraxia.
Kids also want to be seen as helping. If this robot put a piece down poorly, the kid might be trying to straighten up after it.
All of which are eminently reasonable for a kid who has no concept of operating around dangerous machinery.
Kid should have known better than to open with the classic, "break my finger" opening from the regulation standard rules.
Industrial robotics are incredibly dangerous. They operate without concern for anything in their path. Robotic arms like this can be lethal, and the idea that the robot wouldn't ever do anything unusual is, quite frankly, laughable naive.
