French Hackers Use DS to Control Robot

Feb. 6 5:17 PM by Alicia Ashby

You know a game has managed a real interface breakthrough when engineers are cracking it open to see what it can do. Some engineering students in France, for example, have figured out a way to use a Nintendo DS to control this adorable off-the-shelf Pekee robot. (DS Fanboy has a translation of some of the info up, for those of us who don't speak French.)

When Gizmodo ran this story, they mused on the possibility of a DS controlled R.O.B. 2. Hey, he's making a big comeback with Smash Bros. Brawl, so why not? A R.O.B. who did more than play Gyromite would be the absolute perfect way to scare my cats.
