i am looking for a remote controlled robot with a camera i can dial into over the internet and control
it may be possible to connect to a remove pc and control it that way
all the wifi robots i have seen are designed to sync with a android or apple phone
is there any way i can do what i want to with something like this
or can i get my phone to connect to it over the internet ?

Because running around after it lugging a PC is a pain in the ass.

Yes, as long as you don't expect the Arduino to stream the camera data anywhere.
is there an off the shelf robot that will do the job - it does not have to be arduino based
what is a good web site for robots ?

You probably could make a router bot using a wireless router for the communication part. Use a stand alone wifi cam or an IP cam connected to the router. Connect an arduino with an ethernet shield to the router and run web server code on the arduino that serves up a control web page.

It'd be cheaper and easier to use an ESP8266 instead of a router - webserver and such go on the ESP, and it controls the Arduino (to control the motors - you could even eliminate the Arduino with an appropriate motor driver/h-bridge). Wi-fi IP cam would be "standalone" - with the webpage (via the browser) streaming data from it.
