I think your making an investment to the future of robots. there have been a few robot pure play companies over the last 10 years, but most have fizzled. Though there are currently a few robot companies, this one seems to have some potential consumer sizzle. Not much history to go on as it IPO'd nov of '05. I beleive the company itself was started around 1990. Should be a break even /+ this year which is nice. I beleive that the real money will come from the military side packbots etc. The consumer side should bring in people like yourself who like gadgets. Bring em in with consumer fluff make profits with government contracts. That said, Christmas should give them the type exposure they need. I bot a ROOMBA a couple years ago as a gift. She still loves the thing. I assume the new ones are even better. But its a two edged sword. Lots of returns or a luke warm reception for Scooba would not help their image. If they have any new consumer items that catch fire, well thats the sizzle of this company. gambling money.
