Pac-Man With Roombas: The Future Is Now
We've often wondered why vacuum cleaners just clean floors when they could do so much more. Thankfully, a team of developers had the same thought: They took the slightly futuristic robot vaccum, the Roomba, and programmed a fleet of them into a sort of lifesize Pac-Man game.
As picked up by Engadget, the video is of the Pac-Man bot (being controlled wirelessly by an off-camera laptop) sucking up white stuff off the floor while being chased by the Roomba version of the ghosts. It's apparently a demo of Unmanned Aerial System suite. If you ask us, Pac-Man Roomba is a much better use of the program.
Now, Pac-Man is no GTA. So if you have a heart condition, you're safe to watch this video. Still, it's pretty funny and we wish we had their job, whatever it is, exactly.
