Looking For A Robot

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...:)

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.

Sounds like a business opportunity.

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!)

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

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[^]
It's an excellent suggestion, but I'm afraid the lines in question are a bit longer than 130'. I may still try it, as I can design a decent video amp to extend the cable, but the boss keeps me stuck in admin stuff these days, and doesn't let me play designer very often. :(

Did you really expect a serious answer from this crowd? :doh: :laugh:
WE ARE DYSLEXIC OF BORG. Refutance is systile. Your a$$ will be laminated. There are 10 kinds of people in the world: People who know binary and people who don't.
You'd be surprised at the number of good suggestions I've received over the years from this dysfunctional lot. They're weird, but wonderfully bright people, and I wouldn't have them any other way. :-D
