A "Robot" eh? Cool name for a remote control. Those guys in the Mitchell Marketing department were good. You have a brochure listed on this site that has the price for the Robot Focus Control. It is the one listed for Feb, 1965.
Here is the price point and for a fun comparison, two of the other most expensive accessories that Mitchell offered at that time.
So you are right that it was very expensive:
Robot Focus Control: $1,650
Mitchell Viewfinder: $1,400
Worrall Gear Head: $1,745
