I'll give you that. I wasn't aware of that rule.

However, in my opinion a wiimote attached to the OI still doesn't violate the reasoning behind the rules. Remember that we're not supposed to 'lawyer' the rules, but instead consider the purpose behind them. I think any team which can manage to get a wiimote hooked to an OI, and have it control the robot intelligently should not be penalized. Instead, they should be given an award.
