We are interested in acquiring a robot-like device with the following
charateristics:

        1) a single rotating arm with gripper,
        2) documentation of Escape sequences for all operations
           on this device,
        3) includes interface to a serial or parallel port on a
           desktop (MS-DOS based) computer.

There was once a device of this kind from Microbot, but I guess they have
abandoned the marketplace.

We will be using this device in secondary education environments as part
of a software program.  The device should be programmable for simple tasks
such as stacking blocks, moving objects through a limited space, and handing
a object to another device, among other things.  

We would like to pay something less than the current national debt for the
device, but may buy several.  Eventually, we may buy a larger quantity,
depending on how this project is accepted by our client.

If you sell this kind of device, please send us an email,  or a short FAX 
telling us about your product, including prices.
