-<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>
