It'd be really nice if vendors for specialized hardware like this could give at least a ballpark figure without me having to give a bunch of info to some sales rep (if that's even possible; the "Contact Sales" button just brings me to a page with no content - just the header and footer). Will Spot be $50? $500? $5000? $500000? $50000000? How about Handle or Pick? If I don't have a ballpark, I don't know if it's even worth calling for a quote.
This is a problem that seems to be endemic among vendors that sell things to businesses; they always seem to be hush-hush with the price, which strongly suggests to me that they're going to try to screw me.
“Our general guidance is that the total cost of the early adopter program lease will be less than the price of a car—but how nice a car will depend on the number of Spots leased and how long the customer will be leasing the robot.”
What's insane is that vendors will do this even for products that are very obviously not "too much". I shouldn't have to call a sales line and give a bunch of information just to get a ballpark figure on what a urinal cake will cost me, lol.
