Re: Wii Contoller

I think some team managed to do this last year, but don't quote me on that. It obviously can't be used during competition due to external power supply and wireless transmission rules, but it is possible.
I know for a fact that people have managed to make the wiimote interface with their computer, there are several videos on youtube/google videos. I assume someone could write a program to run on the laptop to interpret the input from the wiimote and then send formatted signals to the OI via serial cable. The OI would interpret the signals just like a joystick.
