There does seem to be a persistent tension associated with this topic.
Maybe the solution here is to create a "comp.robotics.hardware"
newsgroup.  There appears to be enough interest, and I have to admit
that I, for one, try to skip over the hardware-related articles and
concentrate on the "softer" stuff, or more general issues pertinent to
robotics.
