Since I worked on this project, I thought I may share.

Client decides to accept the robots at 11:30 Friday afternoon. We can now pack and ship. 3 hours left in the day, so what happens?
The programmers decide to buy a wiimote and hook it up to the controller just so they can boast that this is the largest item run off a wiimote.

My role, Electrical design and PLC programming.

See, it is possible to get fun projects.

Enjoy,

Doug
