Combine geeks with robots and a street full of traffic and entertaining situations naturally arise. Earlier this week, during the South by Southwest conference held in Austin, Texas, Make Magazine’s associate editor Phillip Torrone and Eyebeam’s R&D fellow Limor Fried converted a Roomba vacuum into a modern version of Frogger. This game attracted many viewers as the litle green robot scurried across the four-lane road multiple times till being hit twice, and pronounced dead after the second collision. Here is the cnet article that showcases a few pictures of the Froggerbot in action.
