Control Bot From Droid Tablet

How easy or difficult is it to control a bot from an android tablet? I ask because it would be easier to demo the bot without a laptop of hand held controls. Has this been done or asked. I did a search but did not find anything. Thanks for any input.

One of Team RUSH's alumni has created a system that we use for one of our robots, MA, whose demo system allows for any android device to use his app and communicate with an arduino board. The source code is accessible here, and the breakout board we use is available here. Of course, you can take this and change the code to your heart's desire, but it's an excellent learning process for anyone just getting into programming, on either the control side or the app side.
