FirstLook gets its name from the four cameras that dot its sides, allowing soldiers to do reconnaissance from a safe distance - up to a couple hundred meters (though one iRobot employee told us that the company has gotten up to 500 meters unobstructed). You can view all camera angles simultaneously using the large display on the robot's beefy remote control.The remote has a small joystick to the left of the display. It's really like playing a video game - we jokingly mentioned that we'd been training for it all our lives with our console games, and the iRobot rep had to agree.
