well i am fairly certain the Robot will be released but i am not willing to say
with any degree of certainty that it will be in 2006
i think the target date is Q4 2006 in time for Xmas

the difference between this Robot and the last one Excalibur was planning to
release is this does not rely on a foreign company
the last one was to be equippied with an Arm and the production of the Arm was
not under Excaliburs Roof

this Robot will have the same basic mechanics as the Mirage which Excalibur made
without reliance on Foreign scources

hopefully it will be more sturdy then the Mirage though..

one sneeze and the Mirage would fall to bits eventually forcing  Excalibur to
discountinue making it although it was a huge seller for them

Marble Mirage Regards
Steve
