A couple of government engineers have rigged a military robot, the bomb diffusing kind, to work with a Wiimote. The pair of engineers developed the project while working at the Department of Energy, they say it will help make controlling the robots easier to control, freeing up the soldier’s attention to the sensitive data the robot sends. Important stuff, you know, like wether to cut off the green or red cable before everything goes boom. I sure hope its more responsive than a Warioware minigame!

They did this exact same thing before with an Xbox controller, it sure makes you wonder how these research labs operate. I’m betting it involves a lot of mountain dew and cheetos.
