On Friday, our teacher told us about cellbots. A cellbot is a robot controlled by a cell phone. Here is a video of one that a guy and his kid made together in one day.

What’s really cool is that you just use a cell phone to control the robot. There are kits that cost about 100 bucks. I am going to ask for this for my birthday in November. I hope I get it! We have old phones at our house that nobody uses anymore and I’m going to use them to make this cellbot go.

The way it works is like this. You have one cell phone on the robot and the other cell phone in your hand. You call the cellbot phone and use the other cell phone screen to direct the forward and backwards. I think there are some with arms you can move too. This is the coolest thing ever.
