US Army Using Wii Remote to Control Robots Around Minefields!

Yet another unconventional use for the Wii Remote, war robots! The US Army have been experimenting with the Wii Remote as a controller for specialized robots used to clear minefields in war-torn countries. Original remote control devices were complicated and difficult to use, but apparently the Wii Remote now fits the bill due to its simplicity!

What's next, Wii Remote-controlled reconnaissance helicopters?

So many uses for the Wii Remote have been found. Nintendo really created a nifty piece of hardware eh?

The Wii is just screaming to get some good war games because of this.

The US army, controled by a flick of the wrist and the press of a button.
