USB robot webcam -- heavy on webcam, short on robot

If puppy webcams are a little too cute for your liking, then perhaps this webcam-packing robot will be enough to get you to hop on the gimmick webcam bandwagon. Unfortunately, its robotic abilities are decidedly limited, with the only non-webcam related function its able to muster being some LED eyes that light up when it detects darkness. Things don't fare much better with the built-in webcam either, which will only give you a basic VGA resolution with none of the fancy face-tracking or other features now common in non-robot webcams. On the upside, it does only cost twenty-four bucks, and it would seem to offer a few modding possibilities -- or, at the very least, provide a suitable target for your over-equipped Robosapien.

USB webcams come in all shapes and sizes, but rarely do we see a case of separation at birth as evident by this USB Robot Cam. When placed side by side with Honda's uber expensive Asimo, the similarities start to shine. The USB Robot Cam, however, features white LED eyes and red LED ears that light up whenever the surrounding brightness is at a low level. Don't expect anything more than the standard VGA resolution results to come with the USB Robot Cam though. I suppose you can sit this webcam atop your monitor comfortably without any problems whatsoever. Here is another web site shot of usb robobot cam: http://newelectronx.com/products.php?cat=50
