Overly Positive

On Kotaku via Gizmodo comes an enterprising Danish guy who’s created a way for a lawnmower to be controlled via the Wiimote. Looks like the little bot uses bluetooth to send the signals and turning and moving the lawnmower is as simple as moving the Wiimote forward or side to side. Looks like this tops the guy who made a Wiimote control a multi-touch screen.

So you see, there’s hope for all of you people out there who have bought a Wii so that you could feel that your parents or granparents orother non-gamer people could understand your “weird” gaming habit. If your Wii sits abandoned like a lost puppy on the mean streets of the city because you don’t feel like waggling a remote on the screen for 4 hours at a time you might just get some use out of it.

Just imagine using your Wiimote to control your toaster, your coffeemaker, you refrigerator door, or for all you college kids, your local keg. The possibilities are endless. Of course, this means possibly dissecting the Wii and its parts like some science lab in high school, but hey, you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs, right?
