Some quotations from customers:

"a spectacular job of answering questions from users, be it a silly basic question or a complicated technical inquiry."
 - MIT

# mechanical, electronic construction -- Great quality

"My favorite robot is from STRobotics.... Their stuff is designed on the Z8000, and runs
 a language they call RoboForth. It's a pretty fair implementation of Forth,
 and that is one of my all-time favorite programming languages."
