I taught Goose how to drive (a rover)

Goose has no hands, no eyes, and no spatial awareness, but it can drive a rover!

I came across a demo video from Deemkeen, where he used Goose to control a Makeblock mbot2 rover using natural language commands like "drive forward/backward," "beep," and "turn left/right" powered by a Java-based MCP server and MQTT.

Inspired and excited to take it further, I taught the rover to spin, blink colorful lights, and help me take over the world!
