I am looking to create a simple mobile robot (two dc motors) with a camera. The android phone would have an app that allowed for control over the motors and have a live video stream. It is necessary that the robot and phone be independent of any outside router. I would like the robot to emit it's own wi-fi, much like the AR Drone by Parrot.
I am guessing the video stream could be completely independent of the motor controls and the on-board Arduino? I suppose something like this would work: http://www.officemax.com/technology/networking-equipment/network-cameras-1/product-prod4570714?cm_mmc=Googlepla-_-Technology-_-Networking%20Equipment-_-Network%20Cameras&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=23937073
However, I would like something very inexpensive. I don't need anything that will pan or tilt. The video only needs to be of decent image quality in the range of a couple of feet. This camera would probably be good: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8667
But how would I emit the wireless video stream to my phone?
Thanks!
