But for the fact that this is designed for Arduino, I'm pretty impressed with this package. $150 gets you a full RoboRealm license, nice camera, pan & tilt servos, laser module, hardware, uC, driver boards & power supply. That's quite a deal:

    It should be possible to get real close for a Propeller version. The Mosquito board is basically an Arduino with the smaller ATmega168 chip and a header row for direct connection to servos. Steve Gentner of RoboRealm has posted Prop code for use with the software, like that in this thread:

    At first blush the Propeller Servo Controller USB should fit the bill. Add a Pitsco or Lynxmotion XY bracket pair, some servos, and a basic USB cam at least equivalent to the Livecam, and you'd be out around $95. You'd have to get the RoboRealm license separately.

    Don't think Trossen includes the laser module on this one.
