Another Use for Roomba: Pac-man

pacman-roombaColorado University students know just how to kick things up a notch, it looks like. Most people use their roomba for cleaning up their homes. Others use it to make their pets look ridiculously adorable. These badass developers chose to make a playable game of Pac-man.

Pac-man is controlled by a laptop while the ghosts move autonomously, chasing after Pac-man inside a maze pattern. When Pac-man sucks up a power pellet, the ghosts would start fleeing away from him. Pretty cool, right?

Why all the work to create something like this? My answer would've been "Why not?" But according to their website, they are apparently using Pac-man to showcase an Unmanned Aerial System software they've developed.

These guys would probably cry if they find out that I've accomplished the same thing using four live cats, one dead cat, catnip, a rope and a few buckets of paint.
