     Try IS Robotics in Cambridge MA. I forget the number but you get it by 
dialing Boston Information at (617) 555-1212. You may want to Colin Angle 
there. IS Robotics sells quite a few different mobile robots and these are the 
people that bought the license to sell subsumption architecture (which was 
developed mainly by Rodney Brooks of MIT). You probably get some subsumption 
code and some behavior language (newer stuff) thrown in.
