Breakdancing robot Friday continues full-speed ahead with this video from our friends at Robots Rule. A new software app, Robot Dance 4 for the i-SOBOT combines our passion for dancing humanoid robots with our secondary passion for controlling everything we see with our Wiimotes.

You'll need a PC running Windows 2000 or higher (XP is recommended), an infrared transmitter, the aforementioned Wii controls, a Bluetooth transceiver, a headset (for voice controls), and of course, the world's smallest mass-produced humanoid robot.

A "pre-test" version of the software will be available by December 23rd, with a final version coming out around the end of February. Robot Dance 4 features a Wiimote-friendly "virtual training room" and gesture recognition for all 35 of the robot's "combat commands." Non-combat commands can also be attached to the Wiimote.

Robot Dance 4 also features Skype integration, multiple robot control capabilities, voice control for all of the robot's 147 commands, and various other features. You should be conquering mankind in no time--but not before you bust out those fresh crush grooves, naturally.
