Believe it or not, we here at Mac|Life have dreams. They mainly consist of ninjas, unicorns, robots and Apple; but they're dreams none the less. So you can understand how excited we got when we saw this little iPhoneRobo. The Japanese blog moyashi.air-nifty.com, roughly translated by our superior Google translate skills to "One Secondhand Bath," shows us a self made iPhone spy-bot.

The magic begins with one jailbroken iPhone. Add an over-the-counter mini RC base and motor, the builder used No.68 from the Tamiya online shop. You could probably hit up your local hobby shop to find the parts needed. Next you have to be a totally awesome supreme geek with a level 12 intellect, the ability to speak to electronic devices, and have an extremely thorough understanding of 5th dimensional nanotechnology in relation to the theory of quantum time leaps residing in gray holes (a newly born "black hole" that won't stretch you to shreds, but instead transport you to a different part of the galaxy. No, not a worm whole, this is brand new.), and by the looks of it, some coding ability.

 

All of this is connected through the dock on the iPhone. Functions and commands are fed to the iPhone wirelessly using Arduino software. The commands can be found on the "One Secondhand Bath" blog, as well as some other neat videos like installing a keyboard to your iPhone, or turning it into a thermometer. The idea of a small iPhone army kind of scares us, but excites us more. What really scares us are the "actroids," creepy robots being built by a subsidiary company of Sanrio.
