It looks like anything and everything can be done with the iPhone. Some of the modded iPhones have metamorphosed into intelligent plant watering devices, surveillance iPhone kit, and adult toys among many others. The latest mod made possible is a robot which uses Lego pieces, an iphone and the software required to give life to the robot. The fact that iPhone’s new versions are being launched very frequently has encouraged users of earlier models to modify those phones into something innovative, like a Lego robot. The modder has incorporated the Lego Mindstorm’s light sensor which scans the iPhone screen sitting in its cradle. In the mean time, the user sends commands from another iPhone via Safari, which changes the gray scale on the screen telling the Lego Mindstorm’s sensor what command to execute. Do check out the video below.

Step1:Build the robot
Step2:Program the lego NXT robot using NXJ
Step3:Write a Safari web app to drive the robot using Google’s web toolkit
Step4:Have fun driving the Iphone lego robot!
