Repurposed Nintendo WiFi

Filed in archive Lifestyle on May 17, 2007

Do you have a Nintendo DS used as a paperweight? Well here is the ultimate Tech Without Wires after work project. Tired of working then have a break and make this little project.

Want to see a video of this working? Then click on this link and see the video of the RoboDS.

There is also a public page where you can go and drive the robot across the Internet and you can buy the kit for only US$119.

"Creator Alexei Karpenko envisages a thriving fan community adapting the RoboDS and posting guides to generally hackery."

Has this got the tech juices running now? This is one idea that I am going to work on, there is a marketing angle to this as well. It is out of the ordinary, something that I am going to use at shows -- have a control station with this robot moving around the table. Emphasize the "without wires" angle of what can be done with wifi.
