This Japanese dude stuffed a beer can with robotic guts, and controls it with a Wiimote. It even has a rolling mode for when it's placed flat on its side. The video includes a look at the insides.
On a side note, I have a question for robotics enthusiasts:
is it still a robot when it's remote-controlled? Way I see it, a robot has to be autonomous, at least mainly autonomous, to be called a robot. Otherwise it's a remote-controlled... device, thing. Like RC cars, except in a different shape.
