An automatic system for monitoring chemistry information for a body of water comprises a sensor for determining chemistry information, a microprocessor for processing chemistry information, and a housing coupled to at least one of the sensor and the microprocessor. A physical interface for communicating data between a peripheral device and applications executing on the host is opened and controlled by a software module. The robotics and products are separated from a retail space by a transparent barrier, allowing consumers in the retail space to view the actions of the robotics in retrieving a product. Some such embodiments further include selecting one or more application configuration packages for deployment as a function of one or more received scoping question responses. These compounds have a hydrophobic, core that is coupled to a plurality of hydrophilic moieties.
