yea I can't remember who it was, but I know it was a active member. I just remember someone posted a vid of this when it was being devloped and the GFYer said he wanted one. I just saw a commerical for it, so thought I'd post it.

Currently, the iBOT 3000 yields the wrong answer to all four questions. While it may serve as a pioneering product for later extension, its current prospects are bleak.

The iBOT?s price is more than 10 times higher than existing products. The iBOT is currently priced at $29,000. A state of the art powered wheelchair costs $2600. Insurance companies? existing policies will be a major barrier to purchase.

The iBOT?s value is not indisputably higher than conventional wheelchairs. One of the early testers of the product, Dr Rich Barbara, found himself yearning for his conventional wheelchair.

Given the iBOT for a 2 week trial in 2001, he told the New York Times:

?I was glad when my two weeks were up.?

The reason: while the iBOT can do things that conventional wheelchairs can?t, it also can?t do things that conventional wheelchairs can. For example: it can?t fit into a small car. It takes up more space when in use.

Switching costs are high. Users need training, and not all users of existing wheelchairs can use the iBOT. Since the iBOT requires the use of one hand to operate the chair by manipulating a joystick, in addition to judging what kind of terrain to avoid, doctors can prescribe it only to patients who pass a physical and cognitive test.

Current availability is limited. We can anticipate widespread availability, given J&J?s strong distribution systems, but not immediately. J&J is rolling it out in 20 clinics this year.

Ouch, the price of this wheelchair is a bit salty:

What is the price of the INDEPENDENCE® iBOT® 4000 Mobility System?

The retail price of the iBOT® Mobility System is $26,100.

I am not the only one in a chair there are a few of us.
Yes I think they are talking about me.
Actually someone else made the auction thread for me, was not really a donation thread more so a giant sig auction thread.

Chair is in very limited release, I also apparently need an additional surgery first before I could use it as my left leg does not bend enough. This would of been done a bit earlier yet I was instead diagnosed with bladder cancer and had to deal with that at the end and beginning of this year. I think I have been keeping everyone up to date. Although the auction winner thinks I could do whatever I really need with what was raised. Instead of paying medical bills etc. I have had the money sat aside just for the purpose of getting such a chair (there is another on its way so mind is not made up).
