I am finished finally with the XCam anywhere rover. I just need to document
the setup on the web site...soon. Today I am moving all of the Legos and
computers into a spare bedroom to prepare our house for a yearly xmas
party...so maybe soon is a bit of a misnomer ;)

It sure looks like a camera to me. You can even see a somewhat thicker cable
coming off of the camera. Although low-res "golf ball" style cameras have
gotten pretty cheap, I agree that $54 still seems too low.
Working with the rover tethered to the computer seems a little awkward. Rich
Thompson was working on using a remote video camera from X10. How's that
going Rich?
