Telepresence on the cheap

We've seen telepresence platforms for $15,000 or more, but Maryland-based MantaroBot offers these iPads on wheels starting at only $1,650.

Recent features include a laser pointer and the ability to use any audio/video software such as Skype to communicate with friends while rolling around in a distant location.
