This is part one in a two part series. See part two Microsoft Robotics Studio.

Brian uses the phone to direct the actions of the robots, as well as handle things like communications and image acquisition (yeah - these robots, like the various probes we've launched into space, like to send images back).

I was floored by what I saw. And, for those of you who like what you see here, Brian has posted directions on the official WiMo site which describe how to build a robot similar to the one you'll see in the video.

It's amazing what you can do with a computer, a phone, and a couple hundred bucks nowadays.
