All ready to roll, but going nowhere fast -[ #FlickrFriday ]- >>Explored<<
#FlickrFriday | #Black
One of three wheels on an inoperative mobile webcam which looks like some kind of lunar rover straight out of a sci-fi movie. I bought the device just for the heck of it around 2010 or so; a bad power supply pretty much rendered the gadget DOA out of the box. Securing a replacement supply was frustrating and ultimately fruitless. Between the aged battery, the pitiful (by today's standards) 640x480 (VGA) resolution camera, and probably no compatibility with anything nowadays, the unit is not worth reviving at this point.
Oh, I should mention, the rover was sold as a refurbished unit. The seller was unable to follow through a remedy because of the sheer volume of defective supplies.
