SRV-1 Mobile surveillance robot kit

ThinkGeek has a pretty cool robot that works with Macs/PCs/Linux and the robot firmware source code, written in GNUARM-compatible C, is available under open source (GPL) release – “Explore the dangerous terrain of your home or office with the SRV-1 Mobile Robot. This palm sized bot packs tank-like treads, a 32-bit ARM processor and a mini video camera. The included wireless transmitter interfaces via USB with any PC up to 300 feet away. The Java based host software supports Windows, Mac or Linux OS and features a built-in web server to monitor and control the SRV-1 Robot with a web browser anywhere in the world.” [via] – Link.
