Beth,

Thanks for passing this on because way last fall my brother was telling my
Mom that IBOT was being either developed or beginning to get tested, and I
feel I will get one some day like many will, I'm sure.  But however, I have
learned from my experiences with other assistive technology is, if something
gets released in April, it might still have bugs to get worked out by users
like myself with some technical know-how, so I would definitely begin the
funding process now but wait at least 6 months to place the order after the
actual product release to have people like myself work out the problems if
there are.

Thanks,
Anthony

  Miriam,

  The new stair-climbing I-bot wheelchair, currently available in Europe but
  not yet FDA approved can be seen at
  http://www.independencenow-europe.com/ibot/index.html
  There are several short video clips there that show the chair in action.
The
  company has a US web page as well, but it doesn't have nearly as much
  information on it since the chair isn't approved here.
