+<p>This summer I got the chance to buy cheap Spykee robots, and since
+then I have worked on getting Linux software in place to control them.
+The firmware for the robot is available from the producer, and using
+that source it was trivial to figure out the protocol specification.
+I've started on a perl library to control it, and made some demo
+programs using this perl library to allow one to control the
+robots.</p>
+
+<p>The library is quite functional already, and capable of controlling
+the driving, fetching video, uploading MP3s and play them. There are
+a few less important features too.</p>
+
+<p>Since a few weeks ago, I ran out of time to spend on this project,
+but I never got around to releasing the current source. I decided
+today that it was time to do something about it, and uploaded the
+source to my Debian package store at people.skolelinux.org.</p>
+
+<p>Because it was simpler for me, I made a Debian package and
+published the source and deb. If you got a spykee robot, grab the
+source or binary package:</p>
