it is the spacing of the leads on the chip... they are spaced 2mm apart...

I would suggest looking at RoboRealm.com... it is free to download and can support everything you want.  Essentially, you need a robot with a bluetooth connection to a PC running RoboRealm, and a wireless webcam.

also search for posts by airman00 on his Butler Robot for an alternative approach.
