      Anyone know of any robots that meet the following requirements?

	- 5' to 6' vertical travel (possibly a pole-type robot, like
		the AMF Versatran)

	- reach sufficient to allow 2' horizontal travel

	- About 20lb load carrying capacity, including end effector

	- Modest accuracy requirements - 0.1in repeatability is fine

	- Need not be fast

	- Must be all-electric; no pneumatic or hydraulic power required

	- Weight preferably under 150 pounds
