I have an aluminium bracket for a Robofocus that David Trap had on the VC200L I bought - if you want it, shoot me an email or PM and you can have it.
Not sure why you feel the orion focuser is useless. I have one on my VC200L and it supports my ST10XME, filter wheel and AO unit or my even heavier spectrograph. I almost never change the focus. It will go for many weeks without being touched. I just check it occasionally with a bahtinov mask but rarely move it.
