You can now buy stock (listed on the Bob Exchange) in our great startup company. We're sure to save the world billions of dollars a second in energy costs wasted using obsolete solder. When we capture 1% of that market, (real soon now) your investment will pay back 1,000 fold..... (offer void where ever fraud is an illegal activity ...).Bob

content: Bob, that seems a bit ambitious. Perhaps you'd be better off with an Indigogo or Kickstarter. Test the market, etc.

content: is it just me, or isn't she even looking at the place at the board where the tip is???

content: She appears to be looking at the iron tip as far as I can tell. I find it interesting that none of them seem to notice that the metal tip is discolored from heat, and that there's a contoured plastic handle just above the metal part, but what do I know?-Pat

content: Actually, they're all using self-adhesive silicone heat protection pads in order to hold the iron close to the tip. This is a brand new technique to maximize accuracy for SMD work. It works especially well with the magnifying contact lenses they're wearing.

content: they are just models, they have absolutely no clue what they are holding or what it is for, the person who took the pics should have done just a little bit of research...

content: These are the new humanoid production robots. With silicone fingers they can hold the iron wherever they are programmed to hold it. Right near the tip gives more precision in placement. Didn't you see the advertising?The laser safety goggles are for the protection of nearby humans, in case the robot inadvertently enters 'direct vision welding' mode.Clothing, wedding ring, hair and band etc on this unit are demonstrating the 'social blending' option, available at small extra cost to prevent human workers feeling uncomfortable or talking about industrial action to protect their soon to be doomed jobs.

With advanced sensor arrays, she can be blindfolded and still solder 10002 resistors with a conical tip, holding the resistor in place with her precision silicon fingers.

One of our competitors had a whole bunch of pictures of their factory floor and people operating various pieces of gear on their line. I ran into one of their guys at a trade show and we had dinner. I complemented him on the fact that the people on his line all appeared to be quite good looking, and that if he visited our plant, we would not measure up on that basis. His reply: "They gave the entire workforce two days off and brought in several bus loads of models from Paris. They set it all up and took the pictures. Then they all left. Nobody that works at our plant looks that good". We then ordered another bottle of wine. I forget who paid.Bob

content: I think she's the real deal.......she's just wearing those new super ultra heat resistant skin coloured latex gloves.........and she's also using one of those new fangled soldering iron tips that only produce heat at the very tip (hence that mother board slot isn't melting).Ian.
