WOW!! That looks really awesome! Unfortunately, I don’t use Skype… :(
I just played with it and it’s really cool. Nice job! The robot becomes hard to see when it’s at the bottom the screen. You might want to tilt your camera down a little.
Thank you! Yeah my camera has a slightly larger range when I look at its video from my webcame, so I never noticed that. So thanks! I tilted it down :)
Awsome!!!!!!! i drived it around and it’s so cool!! the conecction was a bit slow but i think thats cuase i did it from holland.
how dit you maked it auto answer my call and ask for video?
In Skype, you can go to the options, and I think it’s in the call menu. But if you check the “computer tweaks” section, it says everything I did to Skype to get this to work (btw I’m also Dutch :D)
ehh je robot doet het niet meer sorry ik ben te ver doorgereden en nu staat de kabel strak en beweegt hij niet meer…
ik zou het zo cool vinden om dit ook te doen alleen heb ik maar 1 nxt :(
(sorry dude your robot isn’t working anymore i drived it to far and now the cabel is taut and it doesn’t move…
i would realy like to do this to but i only have one nxt :(
Ja dat gebeurt wel eens.. Niet erg want mn moeder is er en die haalt ze steeds uit elkaar als ze boven is.. Ik heb al geprobeert om het te verhelpen, maar vanmiddag maak ik er nog wel wat veranderinge aan. Maar thx voor de tip :)

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard
to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
