Controlling Cockroaches With Your Phone by 4Play(m): 11:33pm On Oct 08, 2013
Cockroaches may be considered vermin but one team of scientists has found a way to keep the pests under control - remote control that is.

Michigan-based Backyard Brains created an electric backpack that fits onto a cockroach and makes it turn on command using electric impulses, and the firm has now begun selling DIY kits meaning anyone can use the technology at home.

The Roboroach stimulates the creature's antenna and forces it to turn left and right at the flick of a switch and the backpack links with a smartphone app that is used as the remote control.

That's why they keep developing and we don't. To you, they are just controlling cockroaches. To them, they are one step closer to dominating your land once again by developing human brain controlling "backpacks". Dey dere dey look ooo
