Today I got an email from someone working on organizing the next event I'm teaching at asking if a specific machine would be a good fit for the classes. My lengthy reply basically boiled down to saying the machine can theoretically be used to meet the objectives of the classes I'm involved with but none of the station instructors will be both willing and competent to use it in that capacity.

Personally, I'd be happy to see the machine in a class, but the manufacturer would need to supply an instructor who is willing to bend their automation system in ways that run counter to why anybody would buy one of their machines to begin with so I guess I'll find out within the next couple months if anything happens with that.
