Well, I just spent fifteen minutes banging around and it's really cool!
Makes me want to put a webbot together.

Hope I didn't wake you up. It's 5:45am here. :-) (don't ask what I'M doing
up at this crazy hour)

The only suggestions I would offer are...

It would be cool if the camera could be closer to the floor to allow a
wider range of view. At first I felt pretty restricted. I got used to it,

Also, the response time is pretty slow. Is there a way to speed it up?

Great work! The rover held up great for me and I wasn't being the best

Take care,
