<div dir="ltr">Just wanted to bounce an idea off of you guys and gals.<div>For a cheap alternative to the Double Robotics robot I was going to try to make one from a $15 R/C tank, a PVC pipe, a $15 USB web cam, an old portable DVD player screen or car back up camera screen, and a raspberry pi with Wifi dongle.</div>
<div>Do you think the raspberry pi + web cam will work as a two way video chat device or does it lack the horsepower?</div><div><br></div><div>Would I be better off just buying an older Android phone and use that to control both the remote control over the web and the video chat software like a google hangout or skype?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Have any of you built a telepresence robot yet?</div><div><br></div><div>Here's my project page:</div><div><a href="https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/TelepresenceRobot">https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/TelepresenceRobot</a><br>
