Hello,

Not to put this kind of robot down. But I think that the class of web cam robots that are coming out now are just very boring, and I hope that the next generation of them is much more then a joystick operated web cam on wheels.

Sorry in advance for being so negative, but I think that the truth will come out in low sales.
