This is how I'm programming SaveMiis now :-)
This is a programming robot built using Fischertechnik parts. I'm using two motors and two microswitches, plus some Python scripting to talk to the interface and automate the programming of the CPLD. One motor deals with pushing SaveMiis out, and the other lowers the pogo pins onto it.
It's somewhat flaky in construction (for example, the position of the SaveMii as it is pushed is determined solely by timing) but it appears to be accurate enough in practice.
The software used in the video was an early test version. The one I have now gives auditory feedback when programming fails or when a bunch of units have gone by (so you can refill the stack), and it also saves time by returning the "pusher" home while it programs the current unit.
See savemii.net for the product ;)
