WiigoBot - Image 1Well, here's another person with time on their hands. Perhaps tired of doing the same thing over and over, he's used his skills with Lego and programming to create a bowling monstrosity, which does the exact same thing over and over: bowl a perfect game in Wii Sports' bowling minigame.

The Wiigobot, as mentioned in the creation notes on BattleBricks, says that it's a Wiimote "mounted on a robotically controlled swing." Furthermore, it notes, "A second motor is used to trigger the bowling, by first Pressing the A button and left arrow, and then holding down the B button, swinging, and finally releasing the B button."

Impressive for such a little robot, though we're glad the Wiigobot doesn't control the sword-swinging robot from US Mechatronics.

In any case, they also included a video of the bowling menace hitting strike after strike without any problems. While it does take away from the fun of the game, we can only imagine how many bets you could win with a robot like this. Enjoy!
