Introduction[edit]
The Spykee robot was conceived in 2006 [1] and began shipping in the United States in late 2008.
Assembly[edit]
Spykee is marketed for children ages 8 and up and claims to require 1.5 hours installation time. A review of Amazon.com product reviews indicates the actual assembly time is longer.
Modifications[edit]
Spykee is compatible with other Meccano set parts.
At least one owner has modified Spykee to be able to move its 'head' (and thus its webcam) up and down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN_9rkovW6s
It is advertised as an open-source robot, although no API or SDK has been officially released. However, http://spykee.duskofsolace.com is an unofficial wiki containing information on how to access Linux on Spykee. There is information on how the hardware works and new unofficial firmware, that mainly addresses issues on accessing linux and has the capability of mounting network or USB partitions in linux.
As of May 2010 (possibly earlier), the full source code for the robot firmware, as well as documentation, has been made available, see: http://www.spykeeworld.com/spykee/US/freeSoftware.html
A home made robot daemon open source project (named Phobos Daemon) is available on spykeewiki as well. The aftermarket daemon supports all the basic functionality of Spykee and has additional features.
As of October 2010, there exists an application to control Spykee from an Android Smartphone. http://www.aspykee.com . There is also a perl application to control Spykee from for example Linux. https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/libspykee-perl .

The resulting “blobs” are tracked and converted to motor commands. You can see the setup in action in the video after the break. This guy might look familiar, as we posted a super quick head tracking rig he did with legos recently. Some of you mentioned, in the comments, that the legos were a waste, you’ll find that he thought so too, and ended up fabbing a simple rig to take the place of the legos.
