I am STILL using this video in my college computer classes to impress upon my students how many different ways there are to provide input and retrieve output via a computer.
thanks for this video Chris, and now that you've shown me this video and given me visual effidence i can sue you!!! well ill see you in court... oh, and remember to bring a good lawyer and $26 mil.
ROFL, visual EFFIDENCE? So you're going to sue someone for hacking a product that you don't have rights to? lmao okay, gl with that. "oh and remember to bring a good lawyer and $26 mil." GL sueing someone for $26 mil.
What is the point of controlling a roomba? The reason I got one was not to vaccum. Thats like setting up a control for my washing machine. Call ben Aflac, AFFFLAACCCC and make another movie, we're waiting for that follow up. How about them apples you say? Flippin Awesome!
I read an article by this guy that tested out a roomba and one day he came home and the thing was choking on a sock and the next day he came home and it was in a corner in pieces. It made me laugh.
Now they need to design these for kids to play with, lol they can clean the house while they play! maybe even like a roomba derby. Does this void the warranty? i seen something coming out of the roomba, sorry for my ignorance. I do have the roomba, and it's a concern because they tend to wear out near the end of their warranty! (they always replace it though)
No, I used DarwiinRemote for OSX and Tod Kurt's perl implementation of roomba control to get this to work. You can download all of the code at spazout (dot) com / roomba
wicked cool. you should post that in the irobot create forum. are you getting a create? mine is on back order. here's the forum: createforums (dot) irobot (dot) com.
Hey Budz..Thats cool -- I programmed the Roomba and now the Scooba with it - and you really do look like Matt Damon...I guess the chicks keep you busy too much !!
The thing moved before you moved your controller! why do you lie? stupid little bitch. If you gonna lie, do it properly and dont make an ass out of yourself
errrm it moved wen you panned the camera down but wern't touching the wiimote that you picked up... why? Lol other then that pretty sweet.. and yes you look like Matt Damon.

it required a lot of remote angling, for convenience it should be able to work at smaller angles.

@fanClassicRock the controls can be reassigned to the directional pad on the wiimote, or any combination of buttons.
