I'm a research engineer at Gerber Scientific Products. I'm trained as an ME, but I do a little bit of everything in the name of creating new and different products for GSP. We provide equipment, software, and materials to the signmaking industry. A lot of you had cool, printed vinyl graphics on your 'bots. It's likely that they were made on our machine, the Gerber Edge. FYI, the funky floppy holders on the Bobcat were basically a copy of a product made by another Gerber division, Gerber Technology. In real life, the bracket is used to ferry pieces of cloth from one sewing station to another in high volume shops.

p.s. - My responsibilities while we were in Florida kept me from looking a lot of you guys up in the pits. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you at the rumble this summer.

Later,

P.J.
