- Hello;
-
- I am interested in purchasing a robot for our department. I looked
- at the Hero 2000 (loaded) for about $4.5k. But when I called to order
- it, I guess Heath Kit stopped making and selling them! I would like
- to use the robot in teaching a first course on robotics (undergrad
- level 400, senior course).
-
- So I would like to know the following:
- 1) is there a robot with the similar features of Hero 2000 on the
- market (name, phone, $, etc); and
- 2) for folks who have taught a similar course, what do you
- recommend for: a robot; a text; reference material; etc.
-
- Please reply to abunawas@eeyore.stcloud.msus.edu. (if there is enough
- interest I will post summary to the network)
-
- All your help is greatly appreciated.
-
- Adel.
