hi Rich....
I have this one for you...
http://www.myke.com/elcheapo.htm
this one really works...and it's free....
it has got an inbuilt programmer troubleshooting section too..Will be quite useful if you are new to electronics...
hi, i suggest you to open up a web camera, and mount it over your robot,
you can connect it to ur USB port
and if the USB cable bothers you, you can go for infrared/FM transceivers....
