Roomba Pac-Man

[videogameobsession]

Cool video!

IRobot is missing a big opportunity with this sort of thing. They should really release a Special Edition Pac-Man Roomba. It could look like Pac-Man. When it starts up it could play the game start jingle, when it gets stuck, the chomp sound, and the death jingle when the battery dies. Throw in an arcade style joystick to steer it and I know a ton of people thy would buy it, myself included!

[elstonjack]

@videogameobsession sounds like a great idea to me, perhaps throw in a few ghost variants as well, and you could play Pac-Man while they clean your house.

[videogameobsession]

@elstonjack Exactly. Sign me up! :)

[RandomCookieMovies]

Makes me wanna play pac-man, lol

[Furik1792]

u buy 5 roombas 4 this shit?

[deenuhbee22]

thats awesome!

[draconas109]

Why was the map on google maps? I swear I saw roads near the top

[reanimationxp]

This is a really awful waste of time.. and I love how Pacman collides with another robot at 2:27 right after you claim they don't collide with each other.

[laurensb1b]

@reanimationxp he said the *ghosts* don't collide with eachother. Besides they don't even collide during the game, pacman collided during the reset.

[MoLester808]

Are TWO DIFFRENT THINGS!!!

[MoLester808]

Pissing out the window

[snoutout]

nerds

[TheLuckyModder]

@snoutout @Drjake97 They probably make about 30,000$ more then you a year, so ya... they do get chicks.

[TricksDieful]

@snoutout Nerds with Brain Bitch ;)

[HariVIyer]

hah! amazing...was this a programming project that you had to do for a class?

well done, it's really cool.

[602Rocko]

max roomba payne

[jonaskussama]

Can't wait to see the Tetris version

[paxout]

Folks, this is pure awesome.

[alllucky7s]

1:17 Kinda sounds like Gaben.

[BrandonCerelius]

I recently read a breakdown of Ghost Psychology in Pac-Man. Since this is Youtube, I can't be posting links. But I'm sure with some googling you can check out the breakdown of each ghost's psychology and how the game puts them into action.

[dvkillz1]

technology is cool

[BigDan200985]

i would love to do that

[MileyDOMOKUNpugs]

thats awesome

[Sancho0330]

GPS? Google Maps?

[danupert]

@Sancho0330 nope its directed by the power of pure awsome

[NDestHukt10]

One day and we will have Space Invaders on Roomba

[5000jg]

haha 0:15 acutal speed?

[Rand0m27]

That was way cool!

[qazxsw21000]

I want one........!

[goober239]

roomba mario next

[fattymattyweasel]

Enjoy watching this video people as you are witnessing the start of the ROBOT APOCALYPSE

[skeezysquirrel]

I want Roomba Donky Kong!

[PelicanTeaParties]

Why can't my roomba do that??!!? D:

[mattccrouch]

genious

[SuperTimmy29]

Its a pity the ghosts or the pacman didn't stay with in the red lines... Many times they cut across them.. The AI on the ghosts has room for improvement also.

[snes90]

How do 44 people miss the Thumbs Up button? Or maybe they were ghosts...

[finalfight]

this is insane

[lordcaos777]

poco practico pero entretenido

[Despara5T]

Sufficiently nerdy.

[Gretgor666]

Cool stuff!

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

WOW, someone has way to much time on their hands. To bad they didn't use that time to discover the location of the clitoris. If they had, maybe they wouldn't be spending their spare time in the basement playing with vacuum cleaners. LOL

[moronicweirdo]

wouldnt it have been easier to have color detection so the bots can run accordingly to the wall?

[thepro4817]

there is so much room there for activities

[Drjake97]

Good luck with chicks

[zafley]

@Drjake97 Says the one with no chiks -.-

[nate12roxs]

Amazing how long did it take you to do this?

[BamBam0141]

Epic win!!!

[3ShadowPrincess]

Awesome!!!

[omiowashini]

Epic 5 stars!

[Hoptamtapt]

Somebody has been playing way too many videogames

[MeltingHolster]

Bravo. I would actually buy that. Forget the haters. You're going to be very successful.

[JayCharlesLander]

lol How are you going to simulate your mom not being able to take you to the arcade or running out of quarters?

[ChesterDoraemon]

zzz i did something like this 10 years ago.

[TRAMAeagle]

Rofl no lifers! xD jk

cool

[WhiteFireDK]

Freakin' awesome work! Must have taken a long time to set up!

[xxky13xx]

i wonder what happens to the robot when it goes to the path that takes them to the opposite side

[viking977]

i don't suppose you can go through the opening and come out the other end...

[MrJmsIt]

Honestly get a life

[420plz]

lol

[rob3c]

Neat idea! If you want to add a mode that uses the original ghost AI from Pac-Man, just search for "The Pac-Man Dossier" for details (should be easy to program). The target square behavior is different for each ghost and gives them each different 'personalities'. Ms. Pac-Man combined the target square algorithms with a probabilistic approach similar to what you're doing.

[stickmanxDLOL]

#OMG

[Dingo2009]

ive seen alotta cool shit.... and damn this is one of em.

[DarlingDinoSaysRawr]

Soo cool! We have a roomba!

[TheGinajuicy]

That's frikkin cool!

[physicsbugga]

wow its like pac-man, but more expensive and less fun!

[MISSsuperstarrr]

holy fuck get a life

[LeopardTheGecko]

Haha, that's epic.

[wrpen99]

Awesome stuff.

[TubesteakNikka]

Good to see cu is doing something more than just spending their daddys money

[PRocker320]

That's beast

[spurkruse]

Go cu!!

[hmzz12]

Interesting. Thanks!

[diegoarriaga123]

Had at it's finest

[turbotechnique]

That's sweet!

[SuperNitzan]

Cool

[SuperNitzan]

Coolll

[Darkwalker15]

just curious, what happens when pac-man enters one of the side paths that make him spawn o nthe opposite side? Do the ghost freeze so he can travel to the side?

[anthony553298]

Nice project hope to play it in the future

[caesiume]

hahaha you fucking nerds will never get laid!!

[Darkwalker15]

@caesiume And that was needed why?...

[Darkwalker15]

@caesiume And that was needed why?...

[Dashmullen]

There are all ways people putting stupiwd hating comments on every video... This IS pretty cool. If you don't like it don't post anything.

[cincinnatibearcat9]

It does seem like a waste of time and robots.

[totoyoume2]

This is cool like to see more

[iHateMyUsername47]

Wow.... This seems like a waste of time and technology.

[chrischen0709]

this thing is awsome!!! which genis made this

[ricathena]

WoW :D nice :D

[thatgirlkelly1]

This was fucking lame! We want to see it in progress, not how you nerds set it up. Fail video is fail.

[Gamekirby]

Aren't the Roombas expensive?

[mathiasdante]

So when do we make Roomba Legend of Zelda?

[elstonjack]

@mathiasdante as soon as we get the rights to the theme song.

[robojot]

@mathiasdante super roomba brothers 2 XD

[hagrfi3]

nerd!!!!!

[4Deadserious]

@hagrfi3 That "nerd" will be making millions off of robot programing.

[ksoadc7890]

that is sooo cool! I did somethin like this for an engineering class...but it was so much simpler

[caszero101]

sweet

[sashetoa]

Very goos idea! Why P-man didn't catch some of the paper krotons on the floor? Do these little papers have a microcontroler inside them?

[ianflowforever]

If the ghosts were controlled, we could have some sort of flanking or pac-hunting strategy....

[SwampThizzle]

You nerdy bastards! Great work!

[macho874]

lol at 2:21 he says they will not collide with eachother but then at 2:27 they do :O

[elstonjack]

@macho874 True -- good catch. They won't collide while playing the game, but when they all reset we just had them pick shortest pack back to their starting position.

[elstonjack]

I mean "path"

[antoniocubs]

i wanna try!

[niggajones2009]

great video!!!! Now hopefully you guys can use that technology for something productive!!!

[elstonjack]

@niggajones2009 Actually we're using this software right now for sampling pre-tornadic storms with unmanned aircraft.

[elstonjack]

see tornadochaser . colorado . edu (seems I can't post links as comments).

[hollow80]

.....maybe add a little jack daniels to the punch..just a thought.

[bones055]

This is so cool I wish I could do this myself, friggen sweet yo

[JIM4741return]

wow.

[vagitoe]

@over9000christian I liek what you have to say brothah! ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWA!!!

[Lateralusmaster]

@over9000christian Yeeeeah cause you know people are going to read that and think "well shit, he's right! I'll go do that right away!" Telling people theyr'e going to go to Hell if they don't accept jesus is the lowest method, which is FEAR. But that's the whole idea of religion right? Follow the rules or go to 'hell' for eternity. Stop now. You're shoving religion down peoples' throats and you're only hurting your own cause

[wadeNYC1]

@over9000christian choke on that boy's cock fucking pedophile prist

[noal900]

thats boss

[karthi2525]

how you ppl doing like this,....g8,... nice!!

[mar0us1o]

Wow that is so Great!! Even more reason to get a Roomba....so can I call you guys when my Roomba goes AWOL??

[showtime15o]

yeah it was pretty wicked. i got to CU and my T.A. showed me how his classmates did this a few weeks ago. in my head i was like, "this is lame, stupid, and boring". i guess i guess i was wrong

[Darky12351]

:D thats awesome~!

[imisspokemon]

So many trolls...

I didn't find the presentation to be particularly boring. Anyways, very cool concept and well-executed.

[Utendoof]

I appreciate the effort you guys put into this it's really amazing all in all.

[21leftcenter]

it would be cool if they were motorized dildos

[erinshunny]

Don't listen to the haters my friend, this is awesome.

[65PontiacTempest]

good job guys

[KkahluaHero]

Holy fuck this is so cool, and was presented awesome, forget SebasYoo :D

[leogamiao]

[Kickerlive6861]

[ikeaaron]

Cute and ingenious.

[TheLomaxChannel]

[Gipuloe]

Waste of time... And awfully boring. Sorry :/

[TheHealthJunkie]

Nice fuckin waste of time.

[elvibest]

[NCskater14]

[MiNDFREAK371379]

I've just made a video of the top pictures of Modern Warfare 2. They are top quality and just getting popular. Please check it out, rate, and subscribe.

[98hellraiser]

wow this is one of the coolest pac man vids i have every seen yet f-tards are still leaving f-tard hate comments...wow still cool and people are still leaving hate comments because they have no life and think trolling is better than getting out there and getting a life!

[ErasedStateOfMind]

its a lot easier to just play on a computer .. no?

[elstonjack]

@ErasedStateOfMind yes!

[TheEpona92]

that's sweet

[MisterRantzilla]

wow i wasted a brain cell on this damn youtube

[elstonjack]

@MisterRantzilla just one? Try beer, it's a lot more effective.

[MisterRantzilla]

@elstonjack i thought it was pot lol

[Tomek016PL]

why make this?

[BreatherOfAir180]

Just Play The Damn Game, This Was Pointless.

[35ftRAgEN]

[vbvb1453]

yep, he pays, i make it, he good, legitimate stuff here haha

[truthspeaker20]

Damn Geeks

[Madness832]

They just happened to have five Roombas sitting around?

[elstonjack]

@Madness832 actually 10 -- they're used for mobile indoor networking experiments.

[kewlguy323]

Wow.

[xxgg55]

time well spent

[johnpc831]

This would have been an excellent senior project. If only I had known what a Roomba was in 2004 (my senior year).

[Anthony4115]

awesome dude

[CollegeLoheart]

You white people are incredible. Keep it up. One day you'll invent rocket boots.

[LazyCoder]

Will a ghost that is returning to the center get in the way of pac man or the other ghosts?

[lyoko34]

thats hardcore programming

[delusionaldiminutive]

I think it would have been better if you just showed a little bit of the game with out explaining. Maybe explain after?

[FTW10101]

i have the same controller interface! Its a realflight one aint it?

[elstonjack]

@FTW10101 you got it -- but we could have used any linux compatible joystick.

[Mr123MICHAEL321]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAC MAN ...but wat ever happenned to the Mrs pac

[tashtan1]

[marvinonew]

[olimario25]

[TheHartStation]

Let's see another Roomba video game!!! Like Asteroids...

[JTisThis]

thats so tight, wanna buy it!!!

[jakekush]

love the CU hat.... buffs represent!!!!!!

[PremiumWater]

They are playing in the Mountain west next year...we don't want that shitty team in our conference.

[elstonjack]

@jakekush Yeah -- its too bad our basketball and football teams aren't representing us a little better right now. Go Buffs.

[BrianTheChosen1]

What about when you eat a certain number of pellets there's supposed to be strawberry or another fruit appearing in the game.

[SebasYoo]

this is really cool, but it was presented so boringly.

[elstonjack]

@SebasYoo I know, we're only engineers. Sorry.

[Duckyistrippin]

@elstonjack he is so right. thats really cool...yet so boring in presentation.

might i suggest having a few rowdy friends read the script next time, maybe throw in a hot girl or two. they can always be persuaded with the promise of local fame in your presentation :)

[elstonjack]

@Duckyistrippin will do, thanks

[HipHopRymer]

that is sooo cool

[Nick9640]

lmao look at the computer its google maps lmao

[theCOOT29]

thats amazing!

[snow7cat11]
