Hi John,
Well unfortunately I have several hobbies and I cycle through them. I am now
back to my robotics cycle. You can buy fischertechnik in the US through
http://www.timberdoodle.com/catalog.asp?SessionID=&prevPage=%2Fspecials.asp&Goto=4&go.x=18&go.y=12
These are great people to work with. I'm sure they would be willing to buy the
bionic robots for you.
Cheers!
Michael

Hey, long time no hear!
How's it going?
That fishertecknik link doesn't work, needs a "c" :)
Just wish they sold that stuff over here.
