I wouldn’t mind picking up on one or two of there extras. Got a number to call for this surplus?

I liked the post about Kennedy and his influence over the purchase of Irobots. The poster referred to name calling. Well, Kennedy is a drunk, women killer, crook, and idiot. How do you like those names.

iRobot will be around much longer than Remotec. Remotec is a dying company with no business and laying off over a third of its workforce earlier in the year. Remotec could not keep the customer happy by making what they want. iRobot has done this. It is evident that companies like iRobot that diversify will be around much longer than companies that sell old and anequated technology.

How about a little solidarity here guys. We are all Americans here, right.
Good for irobot. Good for Mass. if American companies can design anything to save lives, and build it in this country, it only makes sense for them to get this business. The enemy does not care if they kill republicans or democrats or civilians. United we stand, divided we fall.

Charles’ swipe at Sens. Kerry and Kennedy is ethically inappropriate and substantively bizarre. Even if they were not both wealthy men, it is totally ridiculous to suggest their procurement decisions could be swayed by a free dinner, Roomba, or anything else. Now that we’re in the post-Abramoff, post-neocon, post-DeLay, post-Rove world, let’s get back to solving problems instead of name-calling.

I’ll tell you what is a success — just to bring a little levity to the conversation — the iRobot household robots. They may not be able to disarm a bomb just yet (it’s coming) but I’ll tell you what they can do. They can scooba and roomba the crap off my floors. And in testament to their growing power they now have a more industrial model aptly titled… wait for it… the Dirt Dog. Argh. Do not underestimate the power of the iRobot floor cleaning family.

I also work at remotec and I wonder, do any of you use the MINI, F6A or RONS ?
How do they perform and do you have any suggestions that I can pass along to the Boss?
We want to do all we can to help you guys.

I am in the NAVY reserves and I volunteered to go to Iraq and fix the EOD bots; I spent 2 1/2 weeks driving the things around (fun) but then the I-ROBOT tech rep showed up for a day and showed us more about operation… so about 2 hours before his flight left I finaly decided to ask when he was going to show us how to “Fix” em, he grinned and chuckled and said “your not going to open em, your going to pack em up and send em to us”. I decided to unvolunteer, apparently they wanted a gift wrapper not a tech; this was about 2 years ago, I understand the techs actually fix em now.

From the research I’ve done, IRobot shows up as a “partner” on the list of companies that are involved in the Future Combat Systems(FCS)program. Foster-Miller is not a partner and the fact that Qinteq is not a US based company probably precludes it from being a partner and thus lowers the Talon’s visibility.

I am in the Guard and noticed this page. My Civ. Job is At Remotec, a Northrop Grumman Subsidary. They are also one of the leading EOD Robot contractors yet they were not mentioned. Just thought I would mention them. Thanks!
