The first Spykee owner video was posted today by biker blogger Sven. The 8 minute video shows in detail Spykee’s interface and it’s various capabilities including the robot navigation controls, audio effects, sound effects and more. There’s plenty of point of view footage as he drives Spykee around the house while showing you the video feed in the software interface’s video window. If you have trouble setting up the WiFi link to Skype another YouTube video shows you how. View the Spykee Video

We thought it would never happen but the Spykee has FINALLY been released in the UK and those clever people at Firebox are first to get their hands on the much anticipated spy robot from Meccano!

Just incase you’ve been on another planet for the past year and haven’t got a clue what Spykee is, let me clear things up. Spyke is a jaw-droppingly sophisticated, build-it-yourself robot that acts as your walking (well, rolling), talking spy. Spykee is not only a surveillance robot; it’s a Wi-Fi-enabled, vidcam-wielding sneakabot that can be controlled remotely via PC, either locally or far away through the Internet.

So what are you waiting for…get your hands on one quick…Firebox may have got some now but there’s no saying how many - DON’T MISS OUT ON THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR 2008!
