Producing new things, or in small quantities can be very expe3nsive from a manufacturing aspect. As these parts are moved to more standard, or at least computer driven production the price should drop, and R&D cost will drop at the same time. You can probably drop $1,500 or more in the next year. At the same time the LEDs get cheaper, the batteries get cheaper, etc. All in all they could probably sell these for $5,000 in a few years if they get initial units moving out at a steady rate.<br><br>Even with the current price, if an inspection costs $2,500 then it would only take 10 inspections or so to recoup the cost. If you can do an extra inspection every month with the time you save, then it will pay for itself in a year.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hello Moto]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 8th 2007 8:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sanyo creates inspection robot to check structural integrity]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/sanyo-creates-inspection-robot-to-check-structural-integrity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/sanyo-creates-inspection-robot-to-check-structural-integrity/</guid><description><![CDATA[I, for one, welcome our robotic,safety engineer-replacing, overlords.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Digital1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2007 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sanyo creates inspection robot to check structural integrity]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/sanyo-creates-inspection-robot-to-check-structural-integrity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/sanyo-creates-inspection-robot-to-check-structural-integrity/</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's give it a hand!
