In the range of Lego Mindstorms NXT (you know, the famous bricks that have recently celebrated their fifty years?), Is a “robot” with a light sensor, and can interpret the signals sent by the latter to perform certain actions. Small malignant managed to change the robot docking station for iPhone, with the possibility of piloting the craft at a distance. Perhaps, but it seems that it works, and I tend to find it rather funny, even if the interest is obviously questionable.

The principle is as follows: Place the light sensor of the robot facing the screen of the iPhone, and it takes advantage of the WiFi connection of the latter to communicate with him remotely. Via the Safari browser, it brings up the symbols and colors that will be interpreted and will control the movement of the robot. Demo video below.
