Meetings with Standard Motor today went very well. We reviewed improvements they have made to one of the less reliable motors we use in our Scooba 230 wet floor cleaner and then received a tour of the factory. Our robots typically use 5 motors per design so it is essential that we have a very close relationship with our motor supplier and that their quality matches our requirements. In the afternoon we again enjoyed the bullet train ride as we returned to Guangdong where we joined a contingent of our Far East iRobot team for another eyeball centered meal (see before and after photos).

For followers of this blog, it should now be apparent that I do not generally care for food served with eyeballs intact. If truth be told, I am not that fond of the head either. You can safely add feet to the list. My sarcastic comments to the contrary, the food in China is quite wonderful and I simply need to put aside my squeamishness and continue to expand my gastronomic horizons.
