In the FAQ, Kevin Dowling mentions RWI, the company that manufactures
those neat little model B12 3-wheeled synchrodive platforms.

IBM's entry in last years AAAI robot races, "TJ" did pretty well with one
of 
these. I'm wondering if anyone can offer any more information about these;
I need to find out about prices, availability or anything else - fast. We
have
some money to spend but must get rid of it soon. Telephoning the company 
is not the easiest thing from here. Anyone have a fax number or email
address?
Does anyone using one of these care to give impressions?

I'd be grateful for any information you could offer.

Cheers
