Robots are fun. The iPhone is fun. Put them together and you get the kind of fun that's outlawed in 12 states.

 

The folks over at BattleBricks have created an iPhone robot using Lego's Mindstorm NXT technology, two iPhones and some inspirational genius. The robot is controlled via a Safari web app, Lego's light sensor and a second iPhone.

 

 

Instructions and source code can be found on BattleBricks site.

 

All the robot needs now is Lego pirates attached for virtual sea battles.
