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?

RE: US Army Using Wii Remote to Control Robots Around Minefields!
So many uses for the Wii Remote have been found. Nintendo really created a nifty piece of hardware eh?
Aboslutely nothing new (at GC 2008), the only exciting thing i have seen was the killzone 2 mp trailer and i dont even own a 360.

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.
