Wi-Fi robots were fitted with a wireless receiver enabling them to receive messages from a server, movements captured by the user’s webcam were translated into commands and relayed directly to the robot, and then Skittles were attached to each of the robots via magnets, making it seem that the Skittle was moving on its own.
