Description

The RoboCut Company was founded in 1984 by Alfred, Ph.D., EE, and former Research and Development Engineer with Hewlett Packard for 14 years, author of several patents and numerous published technical articles.Alfred came to Fort Collins in 1977 as a political refugee after defecting from Ceausescu's Romania in a suspenseful Black Sea escape.For freedom Alfred wanted to escape Communist Romania. He designed and executed his escape recipe: Compress into a beach toy an inflatable raft, a stick, a cloth, a little food and water, rocks for neutral buoyancy. Walk with it accross the guarded beach, snorkel in the watter. When hidden in large waves, swim underwater toward international waters until nightfall. Surface in the dark, untangle the bundle, drop the rocks, blow up the raft. This was unexpectedly tricky: using your breath to inflate a raft works contrary to staying alive in large waves. On the spot the recipe was ammended with "process large amounts of salt water" meaning swallow, inhale, cough-it-up, throw-it-up. and paddled the rest of the 20 kilometers to the international waters by daylight. After a close brush with a Romanian military gunboat and an encounter with a Russian cruise-boat that morning, Alfred faced a 7 days and nights of harrowing, hard paddling journey.
