I'm looking for info on relatively cheap robot arm devices that can be
easily interfaced to a computer (I'm willing to do some hacking to interface
it).  It doesn't have to be particularly fast or accurate or anything.

The arm needs to be able rotate about 90 deg. at the base, have a reach of
about 18", and should be able to raise or lower the end of the arm about 6" from
horizontal.  It doesn't particularly need elbow joints, or any kind of
actuator on the end of the arm.

If anyone has any info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm:
