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.
