Overview

Inspired by Philo’s Spy Camera Rover the spybot is a compact rover equipped with a wireless camera two ultrasonic sensors, a compass sensor and a third motor to tilt the camera up and down. It was originally design to test my vehicle remote but as it turned out the robot was so much fun to control via Bluetooth that I eventually decided to create building instructions and share it on my webpage. The 2.4 GHz wireless camera is encapsulated in a tiny black box that fits perfectly into LEGO dimensions. A similar camera can be purchase for about $40.
