Now here is something which you have probably never seen before. I have seen pretty crazy stuff happening with Android and iOS devices controlling various cool robots but never came across anything related happening with Windows Phone 7 devices. For a change, I came across this video in which Muang brothers - Lwin and Min from Accolade Systems ( a BizSpark company ) showed of their ' canon firing robot ' controlled via an application running on Windows Phone device.
Dave Bost has more on this :
tip : Jump to 3:15 if you are too eager to see the robot in action.
Oh. You can use it as a tank as well, just remove the equipment firing the cannons and just sit on it and navigate via your windows phone device. Not too bad, eh ?

I asked the Maung Brothers what the inspiration behind this robot was and all of all things it was pure laziness! Or some would say – pure genius! They basically wanted to create something that allowed them to mow the grass for them while sitting in the comforts on their living room. A remote-controlled lawnmower! Aside from the potentially maiming and harm a runaway lawnmower could do on account of a software bug, the Maung brothers took it upon themselves to investigate the possibilities. Prototyping off of a Power Wheels Barbie Jammin Jeep Wrangler and taking it from there, they built a solid chassis and all the techno gadgetry to make a wannabe Maker blush. Not to mention the addition of strobe lights and a cannon!Check out the robot showing off some moves :
