We've all heard of Wii control gimmicks but this one is surely the winner. It has emerged that the United States military has adapted the motion-sensitive Wii Remotes to operate bomb-defusing robots in war-zone situations, talk about needing a steady hand."The Packbot, which looks a lot like Johnny-5 in Short Circuit and is made by iRobot in Burlington, Massachusetts, disposes of bombs, finds explosives and locates landmines for soldiers in the field.
It's also controlled by the Wii Remote. "Wiimotes are more instinctive, allowing users to focus on data processing,".Here's hoping that the controls actually work, unlike those for a few Wii games out there.
