USB Robot Cam for the Asimo Lovers

If the Honda Asimo set your little heart aflutter but the stratospheric price of the Honda robot was a bit more than your wallet could absorb you can now get a tiny USB powered webcam alternative that looks a lot like Asimo. The USB Robot Cam isn’t the best webcam around with a paltry VGA resolution but it does have glowing white LED eyes and red LED ears that light up when the ambient light in the room is too low. With a price of a mere $24 you really can’t expect much more than a cutesy little USB robot to sit atop your monitor. The actual VGA resolution is 350k pixels and it records in 24-bit true color. The frame rate is 30fps and it can record resolutions of 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. The cam works with Win XP, 2000, ME and 98. If you need a webcam that performs better check out the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision.
