Robodance- 4 software lets you control Tomy i-SOBOT with a Wiimote

Tomy's i-SOBOT usually requires users to punch in one of 147 different keycodes on its monster handheld controller to get things moving, but a couple enterprising hackers have developed a control system that lets you get it on mo-cap style using a Wiimote and the nunchuk attachment.

Check a vid of the system in action, apparently shot in someone's underground bunker, after the break.
