Perhaps not fun, but I find them cool
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyVDMp2bL9c>

I communicate with them via AWS, http POST.
No I don't control each one of them independently, but provide them
with assignments, like 
'take bin 1, 3, 4, and 5 and put them in port 2.
 tell me when you deliver each one of them.'

Our installation has conveyors at the port, giving the pickstation a 10 bin buffer.

This is within a Warehouse Control System.

We also use AWS as a web server within our Warehouse management system,
making the operator at infeed take a photo of bad/broken pallets at goods reception with a handheld device, uploading via AWS, for further treatment
in WMS/ERP - ie tell the transporter to be more careful...


At some site we, use AWS as a messagebroker, providing web-service interface
in one end, and inhouse format in the other end.

Great product. 

We use it on Windows and AIX.
