We just ordered the second pair of cylinders for our 'bot.

I spoke to "Julie" at HPE Automation, at the 'emergency' number on the fax order form. She's seems like a good sort. What she told us in two separate conversations leads me to say "Mark your order 'to Parker ONLY'" because Bimba refuses to ship this far. They sent our first pair not to us, but to HPE, where they languished until HPE sent it to us at our expense, after we phoned Julie. Parker does ship to the wilderness up here, and they even have reps up here if you get stuck for time, and they're willing to help us obtain what we need. How's that for Great People to whom to send all of your business !!!!

The upshot is, we should see the cylinders in less than a week.

There is no deadline until the lead time before robot shipping date. Order now, avoid the mid-February rush.
