robots driven by iPhone and iPod touch, but Maxime,
one of our readers sent us a video of his simple but

little The robot is controlled by light sequences displayed on the screen of a
iPod touch.
Roll youth let's go for an iRobot video demo:
Technically this is how the system works: two sensors
brightness placed on the iPod touch screen allow you to control the robot

- white white: advance
- black black: stop
- black white: left

given. - The second, acting as a receiver, will look for the color code in
the database.
