What can I do with an old G4 Mac that involves robots and cameras?

What should I do with an old 450 MHz Sawtooth G4 Mac running OS X 10.2? Assume that it runs well as-is and that I have $100 to spend on accessories. Bonus points to answers involving robots (for which I don't have materials for) and/or digital cameras (for which I do).
I use an old G4 tower with 10.4 as a file server / backup bucket. Sort of wasteful in a power-consumption sense, but the hardware was free. It's been running for, um... I dunno, six years now? I've only restarted it to do software updates.
And, funnily enough, I do have a webcam connected to it, in case I have the urge to check out the contents of my closet when I'm, like, overseas.

Motion detection of the sky or trees
"UFO" detection (tongue in cheek, but I've seen some interesting videos of meteors and birds)
