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.
