    I've been pricing robotic cameras for sewer pipe inspections, and I'm appalled at the pricing! For a unit that can traverse a 6" pipe, they want $25,000, and that's before options to make it more usable! I'm thinking that $5000 is more realistic, assuming only a 1000% profit. Does anyone know of such a product, or something that can be adapted to this purpose, that sells for a more realistic price? Note that while it must be water resistant, it doesn't have to be water proof as we drain the line before inspection.

      I recently looked into these as well (was thinking of buying one instead of paying someone 150$ to come check the sewer line from my new house out to the street.) The prices I found disuaded me... However, here is one good for up to 130ft for $1100 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YDLRJI/ref=asc_df_B003YDLRJI1339802?smid=ACXZDXAAF532Y&tag=nextagusmp0404127-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B003YDLRJI[^]

      For a serious answer even if it is a very good one. :) OK, the five is mine.

        How would you possibly train a puppy to go into a dark new place and come back filthy and ready to jump into your car? Oh wait...:)

                    It does indeed! :-D Considering the markup of $500 worth of parts, I'd call it a below-ground-floor opportunity! I told the boss that if he'll buy me the machine tools, I'll have a prototype done in a jiffy, at a much lower cost.

                      Build two and sell one for a massive mark-up, offsetting the cost of the first. (The accountant inside me speaks!)
