The ultimate spy robot from Meccano – the Spykee is this years must have gadget. You can control Spykee by remote control or via Wi-Fi from your PC, laptop or Mac. Send commands to the spy robot from anywhere in the world and watch the view from Spykee's built-in video camera which is situated in the front of its head, and listen in to any sounds via the hidden microphone.
Spykee comes with its own wireless VOIP telephone, digital MP3 player and webcam. It even has sophisticated motion sensors, and can be used to protect your room or even the whole house, Spykee can be set to sound a alarm on your computer or send you an email when it detects any intruders, making the Meccano Spykee the perfect surveillance robot.
With its tracked rollers, Spykee can travel over a wide range of different surfaces, from smooth as glass flooring to deep pile carpeting. It's even been said that Spykee can travel up and down the stairs.
The spy robot has its own rechargeable battery which should never run down, as the Spykee robot will automatically return to its charging station when it detects that it needs charging.
MP3 player – Spykee can be used to listen to all your favourite music tracks by streaming digital music from your PC or laptop with the sound coming through Spykee's inbuilt speakers. You can also upload digital music files and store them on the Spykee and use it as you would an iPod/MP3 player etc.
Webcam – Use the built-in camera of the robot spykee instead of your usual webcam or simply view the world as Spykee sees it on your computer screen, no matter where in the world you may be. This feature is perfect for when you are away from home and want to use Spykee to check on your home.
