I've bowled with Nintendo's Wii gaming system. I've built robots with LEGO's Mindstorms NXT, but I have never thought to put the two together. Someone over at BattleBricks.com, however, has. The inevitable outcome: A perfect game.

WiigoBot (pictured above bowling and at rest in inset) can bowl strike, after strike, after strike without breaking a sweat. Don't believe me? Check out the lengthy video of the entire game. Now, to be fair, WiigoBot needs heavy tech books to hold his fee...er...wheels in place. When I bowl a 123 with the Wii, I move around freely. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Besides the ability to bowl without error, this WiigoBot has another big benefit: it cannot sustain any Wiinjuries.

Check out the photos and full video on BattleBricks.com. You may be inspired to build a WiiGolferbot or maybe a WiiPinpongBot.

He is pretty amazing! If he would cook he would be perfect. What else does he know to do!It is a perfect little gadget anyway. Wii is kind of expert in this robot stuff.
