Meccano Spyke Spy Robot

Standing approximately 1 foot tall, Spykee (aka Spyke) is the Wi-Fi spy robot to build. And once built? Well, this remarkable robot acts as your walking, talking spy, a wireless VOIP phone, a webcam, a digital music player for your MP3s, and personal video surveillance thanks to Spyke's motion detector. And what's more, he delivers on every front.

Unlike the majority of his predecessors, Spykee (previously known as Spyke) nails both sides of the fun and functional fence, and the result is a very cool remote control toy that boasts an impressive set of features.

Product Description

Spykee is far more than your ordinary toy robot. Perfect for audio-visual surveillance, Spykee has the ability to move, watch, speak, and hear. With a built-in video camera and microphone, the robot takes real-time pictures with video and with sound effects. When motion is detected, Spykee activates an alarm or sends a picture by email. Compatible with Skype 3.0 (PC) technology, Spykee can also be used as a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone and web camera. Best of all, this motorized robot is equipped with a WiFi card, which means you can access and control Spykee via the internet from anywhere in the world. He does just about everything except feed the dog!

There's more fun than just spying. Combining a classic robot design with the latest technology, you can use Spykee to construct three different robot models from this same set.

What's more - when he begins to lose steam, he automatically heads back to his charging station (included) for more "energy." Requires one 9.6V battery (included). Measures 12" x 12" x 12".

Need to make a call' No problem. Spykee acts as a VOIP phone and webcam, and is compatible with Spykee 3.0 (PC) technology.

Spykee keeps an eye out for you. When he detects a movement, an alarm is activated on your computer, or he'll send you a picture via e-mail.

Jam to the beat of your own tunes with Spykee. He's happy to play your favorite songs.
