First user created Spykee video on YouTube
     


The Meccano Spykee spy robot is finding its way into the hands of users
in the
United Kingdom.  This is the robot that Meccano claims can be controlled
from a remote Skype video call session while Skype streams audio and
video to
you across the connection.  The first Spykee owner video
was posted today by biker blogger Sven.  The 8 minute video shows
in detail Spykee's interface and it's various capabilities
including the
robot navigation controls, audio effects, sound effects and more.
There's plenty of point of view footage as he drives Spykee around the
house while showing you the video feed in the software interface's video
window.  If you have trouble setting up the WiFi link to Skype
another
YouTube video shows
you how.  Robot tinkerers will be excited by the Spykee because it
is compatible with the Erector set of parts.  Also, there is a .NET API
that is claimed to allow you to write your own software around the
Spykee robot.  Originally Meccano said that the software was going to be
open
source so it is not clear if this is a step backward from open source to
a simple API.  Only time will tell.
