Internet XBOX Controller Controller

The Xbox Controller Controller project is an attempt to access and command an Xbox controller over the internet. The buttons on the controller are physically pressed by stiff wire "arms" that are attached to individual servos. The collection of servos is controlled by a Basic microcontroller which accepts processed directions from a small circuit board computer with a wireless internet card. This controller hack has been operated wirelessly through a Nintendo DS and a Sony PSP. I too have created an Xbox controller controller, but my controller just consists of giving my unemployed older brother a bag of peanut M&M's and telling him to sit by the Xbox and a phone for a few hours. Although, I bet this guy doesn't come home to find his controller passed out in front of a Family Ties rerun with chocolate all over its face.
