This sounds just like the ComfortTop module I found on here last year or so.
It included the ability to operate while moving.

Any idea what the time frame is? I'm looking to get one of these by spring, so I'm not in a terrible rush, but I don't want to miss out.

Otherwise looks like I'm ordering out of the UK.

Would like to know this as well. Have been keeping an eye on the site since the summer.

One..

...of the modules out there lets you put the top in the perfect service position automatically.

Does yours do this?

I didn't even think of that as a feature, at present no these do not do that but I will try and add that to it I imagine it won't be too difficult will keep you posted.

thanks for the feedback

I'm not sure when that will be I've been watching the RoboTop website for what must be over a year now as I wanted to purchase one for myself before I took things into my own hands and its always said on the site out of stock. Last I read on a forum is someone else purchased the business from the original designer but hasn't been very productive in building anymore devices.

** Update **

I bought the RoboTop business from the original owner/designer (Tyler). I re-designed the product to improve reliability and sold many RoboTop units. Subsequently, I sold the RoboTop business (quite a while ago) and to the best of my knowledge the new owner has not re-launched the website or product. At this point, it would be reasonable to assume that its not coming back.
