A new robot repost

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 the base, 4
beefy stepping motors (4.2") giving him a pick up of 10kg, Carbon
fibre arms, a lift of 400mm basically a xyyza machine. I was after
cad cam to assist with making architectural
models, but ? I'm also wondering if there is some better business
that I
could put my robot to? Something with an international client base
would be good. The 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. This is my most interesting
problem to start with

Any comments would be welcome
