Here is a great way to spy on people survey your surroundings. With Bluetooth integration, it is completely wireless and is controlled by a video game controller. The camera movement is very fast, but unfortunately the bot isn’t. Keep this in mind, since a fast escape after being detected is not going to happen.

For this bot I needed another axis on a joystick. I have a Logitech game pad that was ideal for this. The left thumb pad drives the motion servos, and the right thumbstick moves the turret. 2 buttons are used to control the servo that opertates the light, one for on, the other for off.
