Some people are forgetting that aspect of what he did here. Maybe he's programmed servos or RaspberryPi's before (or whatever he used) or maybe this was his first thing; either way he probably learned something about robotics and programming, and in all seriousness these kinds of "toy hacks" are very often stepping stones to larger more meaningful breakthroughs later on. This is lateral thinking in fine form, and that's awesome.

I'm crossing my fingers this kid goes on to invent robots that abolish the need for labor. It's a glorious future, comrades!

Only for him - the rest of us are jobless and can't pay for food!

Why do you need to pay for food when the Federation gives you more credits than you will ever need, and replicators?

Man, if I had a replicator, I'd never get off the couch.

You would get off the couch to walk to the holodeck occasionally.
