"Touch Them All"
Baseball fans may have heard this phrase from announcers following a home run, instructing the batter to round all the bases on the way to scoring a run. We at Braintech are working to "Touch Them All" as well, albeit in terms of touching potential new markets, customers, partners and integrators. And while we would love to do so in the grand fashion of bases-loaded home runs, we are well aware that runs are typically generated via walks, singles and doubles. More importantly, we understand that scoring is also the result of aggressive strategy, consistent hustle and being prepared to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.

RBP Shifts into High Gear
The last time we spoke, I attempted to shine some light on the nature of random bin picking and why we think this to be such an important growth market for vision guided robotics. We talked about the fact that RBP applications are present in virtually every industry since jumbled heaps of parts and components need to be transported and fed into machines for processing and assembly everywhere. Since last post our work has intensified even further in this area as we are increasingly seeing strong interest from major manufacturers who are anxious to get the technology working on their plant floor.

Being Public Isn't Cheap
We've had a flurry of SEC filings in the last few months (10-KSB, 10-QSB, 8-K's, Amendments to 10-QSB, and S-8s). All of them necessary and important to understand the financial condition of Braintech, but preparing and publishing these disclosures and statements are time consuming and expensive. To be sure, we are exploring methods of realizing the same transparency to our owners and shareholders (such transparency, I believe, is key to effective communications) without incurring the expensive legal and accounting fees involved not to mention the executive time. I am just not sure it makes sense for any micro-cap company to be public these days. We have incurred approximately $85,000 in the last few months in the preparation, legal and accounting costs of these SEC filings. We could have and should have applied these scarce resources to building the business. Anyway, today I want to talk about the future of the company.

Welcome to the new Braintech, Inc., Web site!
Designing and creating our new Internet site has definitely been a labor of love. I believe the only way to accomplish something as important as this is to just immerse your team in its design, purpose and completion. You must make it a priority (along with all the others)--and we have. Although we fully realize this site will always be a work in progress, we have accomplished its first release in record time because we view our Web site as a critical business tool to be utilized by our employees, customers, shareholders, and business partners.
The first objective for launching the new Web site (within our first 90 days at Braintech) was to communicate the new beginnings and new direction of the company and to showcase the company's talent and the mission-critical technology, software and products that have been designed and created in our laboratory. The second objective was to begin a normal (without all the technology speak) conversation about our technology as well as to increase the awareness of our company and demonstrate how we can dramatically make our customers more productive. To be sure, Braintech.com will become the new face of the company and will illustrate our dynamic strategic direction as we move the company "up and to the right."
