   "Heavy-robot manufacturers are in some difficulty 【23】______  finding customers. They are offering big 【24】______  just to get in the door. There has been a 【25】______  growth everywhere in the numbers of robots, so we admit we are either deceiving 【26】______  or that the market is slowly growing.

   The little companies either bring their educational machines 【37】______  an industrial standard or design from the start. One technique that they all adopt is to choose 【38】______  components where possible. The major cost of making 【39】______  their models is the electronics, which will fall in price. There is 【40】______  scope for reductions in mechanical costs.
