Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Robocom Systems International, Inc., a corporation organized

with the special meeting of shareholders of the Company, we hereby file by EDGAR

This letter sets forth our responses to the Staff's letter dated September
7, 2005 relating to the Proxy Statement. The numbered responses below correspond
to the numbered paragraphs of the Staff's letter. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings ascribed to them in Amendment

2. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and has revised the Proxy
Statement to include as Annex C the unaudited pro forma balance sheet and
statement of operations for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2005. The
unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet of the Company at May 31, 2005
gives effect to the proposed sale as if it had occurred on May 31, 2005.
The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2005 gives effect to the proposed sale as if it had
occurred as of June 1, 2004.
3. The Company confirms that Avantce RSI, LLC is not an affiliate of the
Company. Amendment No. 1 contains the appropriate disclosure in "Questions
and Answers about the Special Meeting", the "Summary Term Sheet" and the
section titled "Information about the Buyer" under Proposal No. 1.
4. The requested Summary Term Sheet and pro forma financial information have
been added to Amendment No. 1 in response to this comment. With regard to
the Staff's request to provide historical information regarding the
business being sold, the Company notes that it is selling all of its
business and believes that the incorporation by reference of its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 satisfies
this requirement.
5. Additional disclosure has been added to the section titled "Background of
the Asset Sale" under Proposal No. 1 in response to this comment.
6. Additional disclosure has been added to "Questions and Answers about the
Special Meeting", the "Summary Term Sheet" and the section titled "Use of
Proceeds of the Asset Sale" under Proposal No. 1 to clarify that no
dividend has been declared in connection with the asset sale and that
there can be no assurance that the Company's board of directors will
declare a dividend in the future.
7. Additional disclosure has been added to the "Summary Term Sheet" and the
section titled "Business of the Company Following the Asset Sale" under
Proposal No. 1 to indicate that the Company has no current commitments or
agreements to pursue any particular transaction or strategy following the
consummation of the asset sale.
8. Additional disclosure has been added to the "Summary Term Sheet" and the
section titled "Purchase Price" under Proposal No. 1 to clarify that there
are no other purchase price adjustments and that the Company anticipates
that it will have working capital on the closing date in excess of the
target amount, although there can be no assurance of any such excess.

9. The disclosure in the section titled "Treatment of Outstanding
Options" under Proposal No. 1 has been revised to indicate that
outstanding options to purchase the Company's common stock will
remain outstanding on the same terms following the consummation of
the asset sale.
10. The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment. The Company
understands that no specific change to the Proxy Statement is
required as a result of this comment.
The Company acknowledges that (i) it is responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in its filings; (ii) Staff comments or changes to
disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from
taking any action with respect to the Company's filings; and (iii) the Company
may not assert any Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United
States.
The Company believes it has fully responded to the comments of the
Commission. We hereby respectfully request that the Staff review our proposed
responses on an expedited basis. If the Commission has any questions or further
comments, the Company respectfully requests that such comments be directed to
the undersigned as soon as practicable.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Eric M. Hellige
