What to do with a robot!

Much to my surprise, as I was searching the trading post classifieds I
came across an advertisement for an almost working pick and place
Robot.I have been searching, researching, saving and buying some parts
for an xyyza table for 18 months. Now I am the proud owner of a six
foot robot 20 years old with one arm.

Robot has a circular reach of 1.2 m by pirouetting at his base, 4
beefy stepping motors (4.2") giving him a pick up of 10kg, Carbon
fibre arms, a lift of maybe 100mm (not sure on that figure- basicallya
xyyza machine. I was after cad cam to assist with making architectural
models, but ? I'm wondering if there is some better business that I
could put myrobot to? Something with an international client base
would be good.Robot should be very accurate too as it is scientific
and industrial,there seems to be little room for errors to creep in as
the x y planeis operated by pivot direct from the steppers.

I will post a photo when I get one
I'm also looking for someone here in Melbourne, Australia to help me
to upgrade the electronics and software.

Interesting hey! Any good business ideas would be very welcome
