Roomba Frogger Makes Me Sad


The Make Magazine folk took a Roomba vaccum cleaner and turned it into a Roomba Frogger. They slapped the white vaccum cleaner in a green t-shirt and then created arm, legs and eyes with paper cups.

After making it look like a giant squashed frog, they hacked it to make it controllable with a laptop and then took turns rolling it across Sixth Street around traffic.

It died under the wheels of a 4Runner. Poor Roomba Frogger, it never had a chance.
