DS-Controlled Robot

Sit back, watch the video, and prepare to be AMAZED.

I don’t even have to say anything, it is what it says. Yeah but you know me, I’ll say something anyway (my blog, mine!). This is a Pekee Robot modified by a bunch of engineering students to be controlled purely using NDS technology. Six ways to control it:

The D-pad, touchscreen, motion sensors, stylus strokes, a target mode modeled after Super Mario 64 DS, and voice commands via the mic.

Whew.

The pros: You + your DS + this amazing idea = world domination. That and enough bragging rights to erase all your sad childhood memories. Spycam? Maybe.

The cons: It’s homebrew, you can’t have it.

    I want one! Doubt that they’re mass-producing this though.
