Don't let Wall-e catch this thing in a dark alley or it will be curtains for WowWee.

If this thing could handle stairs and be programmed to follow people/pets around, I think I would buy this and add it to my JerseyCam setup. The angle would be a little funky, but it would be cool. And when I leave for work, it could follow my cats.

NEAT!
I've always loved these rollers, but didn't like the last bot utilizing them.
I like this, I like it a lot.

@Joseph: I admit I have horrible coding skillz. I rarely change the site. I only wish I could get my Mac running again so my one cam would be back up.

It has a speaker installed. Does that mean it can talk?
