Here is a guy who has taken his Roomba and his Wii-remote and brought the two together. Geeks are so cool. Basically this guy has made his Roomba controllable with his Wii-remote. The website for the code to do this to your own Roomba and Wii Remote is found at http://spazout.com/roomba/. So if you wanted to you could build your own remote control roomba. Here are the parts you will need.

Enjoy getting your carpets and floors clean by making an automated process something that you can do remotely. I guess the point was to see if it could be done. It can be done.
