Not exactly the nintendo Wii

I'm guessing that they just used the bluetooth thingy for the computer, the same one that TweaK did

Does TweaK have a sword wielding robot ?

I think not......

That is awesome. I want one....

Perhaps I should work on getting the wii first though.... =/

Ahahahaha that's hilarious! I'd buy a Wii just to do that with it.

...It might help if I knew how to do that though. XD

Now all I need is a robot, programing skills and a small aubergine.

No, but if I had one I could program it to work like that. The Wiimote uses Bluetooth. So it&#39;s.. Wiimote<->Bluetooth USB<->PC<->Robotic Arm. The Wiimote sends the accelerometer/location data to the Bluetooth USB Dongle that receives it, controlled by the PC, which in turn controls an application that controls the arm.

You don&#39;t need a Wii, only a Bluetooth USB dongle, a huge robotic arm you can control with a PC application and a Wiimote.
