Do you know what your life's been missing? You might even not have realised it was missing anything at all. SPOnG can confirm that it was. It was missing a Wii-controlled robot.

Fear not, however! Robotsrule.com has a solution. The website is offering a software package that will allow you to control a real life, honest-to-gods robot with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk! The really good news is, the software is free. The not quite so good news is that you'll need to go out and buy an i-SOBOT robot before you can get to it - and that's $300 (£148).

According to the bumpf, you'll be able to map the robot's actions to the Wii Remote yourself, meaning you could just programme it to respond to basic flicks of the remote like a bad port of a 360 game to the console, but where would the fun in that be?

Of course, it could all just be fake. You don't ever actually see the Wii Remote and i-SOBOT move at the same time, so the robot could be responding to an entirely different stimulus. Have a look at the video below and see what you reckon.
