Roombas! They clean sh*t off your floor so you don't have to you lazy bastards. Aside from cleaning, Roombas are very hackable and we've seen a lot of mods but nothing as good as this.*

A team of modders hacked five Roombas to create a game of Pac-Man. One of the Roombas is Pac-Man while the four others are Ghosts. The Ghost Roombas will hunt down Pac-Man and will run away if Pac-Man Roomba sucks up a power pellet. Watch the video for full details on how the mod was created.

*Roombas are also really good for love making when loose seals bite off your hand thus turning you into a half-man, half-robot monster.

@Hamza:: They sell a kit called the iRobot Create (or something clever) that is basically the Roomba without the vacuum. It's actually fairly simple to "hack" the Roomba since the people that make it have tools that you can download to program them. We just got a couple at the school I go to, and they are pretty neat. Good find, sir. I will probably share this with the robotics instructor as a future project idea for people to do.

I find it kinda funny that these guys are smart enough to program robot Pac-Man, yet they misspell "Actual."

It's all fun and games now, but how long before power pellets aren't enough and the robots start to crave human flesh?

@ madfigs

The only thing worse than zombies is zombie robots. THEY FEEL NO PAIN.

On topic, that's amazing. I'm going to show this to my engineer buddy, he'll appreciate this. I would love to take a Robotics class and learn how to do that.
