Roombas Go Retro For Fully Playable Pac-Man

Thursday 12 November 2009 @ 12:00 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 3 Comments

I cant believe no one had done this before, if you had asked me I’d sworn I’d seen this some years ago. A group of researchers from Colorado University took a group of Roombas, those cheap, charming and delightfully exploitable vacuuming robots, and turned them into a gigantic Pac-Man game, complete with user controlled Pac-Man, Furtive ghosts and many, many dots.

Now how about someone sets one of these lose in the highway for a quick game of Roomba Frogger?
