The ROB was sent commands by flashing encoded messages on the TV.  I'm sure if you could reverse engineer the (probably extremely simple) command scheme you could write an X app to do the flashing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2006 11:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Control the NES R.O.B. with your PC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jiay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2006 12:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Control the NES R.O.B. with your PC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh R.O.B. was a pain in the ass to use, but he was so sweet for playing Gyromite. What's missing in the photo is the plastic that holds the controller. So like Duck Hunt, etc, in Gyromite when you'd press a button to make something happen, the TV would flash and R.O.B. kicked into gear. He'd pick up one of the discs, drop it onto the spinner (the short tower looking thing on the right) for a few secs to get the RPM up then pick the spinning disc back up and drop it with precision on the controller that was being held directly in front of him. ALL OF THAT just to open a stupid ass gate in Gyromite, that you could have just easily pressed on the other controller without all of R.O.B.'s arrogant hoopla. Still... ROB was awesome.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Donnie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2006 8:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Control the NES R.O.B. with your PC]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/25/control-the-nes-r-o-b-with-your-pc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Haha, you're so right.
