And an extra 1,000$ if it also manages to get up on the dinner table and wreak havoc.

Get on the stick, WowWee!]]>Jan 6th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/

I'm getting a vision here--- it's a geek's place, rigged with ramps for the bot to gain elevation.

This robot has smart sensor to follow objects and talk to other robots. 3-axis accelerometer, digital compass, and a very robust video server that does not require you to have a wireless networke setup to work. It connects to your serial port or usb port.]]>Jan 7th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/

BTW, do you really think WowWee is ripping off this homebrew bot? I'm just saying, I could see the Rovio and Spykee being conceived of and developed without much outside influence. Is there evidence of a true theft of idea, or is that just your gut reaction?]]>Jan 7th 2008 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/

University presentation:

As you can see versions of this also uses a b/g network card, and has been formally presented in a university setting. Versions of this robot have also been on ebay since 2005. The design concept is protected by US copyright and patent laws, and the truth will come out. The patent office works on a first to invent basis for judgements...you decide :) Wowee sells their robots on a ebay regularly, and eBay does log IP's so if anyone associated with their company has every viewed any of the previous listing, it will be shown.]]>Jan 7th 2008 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/
I see on the ebay listing that your(?) bot comes with PC software. Does this mean that as a Mac user, I would not be able to use this bot? I really like the idea of being able to control a bot with a camera from a web browser anywhere in the world...]]>Jan 7th 2008 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/video-hanging-with-wowwees-wifi-enabled-rovio/Jan 8th 2008 12:28PM
