Wii Control the Roomba

[Big B]

If this doesn't scream geek, I don't know what does. C|Net says that someone has managed to hack their Roomba so that they can use the Wii-mote to control it.

One person who did just that is a young man named Chris Hughes, who hacked the Roomba vacuum cleaner so that he could make the rugbot do his bidding. And he's posted the modified source code online so that you can do the same.

Although the geek in me says thats cool...

I cant help agreeing with Pelvis 3 saying that he has to much time on his hands :p

Lol, maybe he does have too much time on his hands :P, but look what he has done, its really good lol, i wouldent mind doing that if i had a roomba, but i bet they cost a fortune lol.
