Integrated with lots of SW packages, and drive prices have come way
down. I think you can now get them for less than $15K. Integrates
smoothly with robotics.

See http://www.nml.org/publications/NML_TR/lcmd/lcmdtoc.html for one
performance evaluation. Lots of good info there, but keep in mind that
the testing was conducted in 1992.
