That would sure be interesting, and expensive. (although, perfectly legal...)

The problem with the Wii controller is since it uses the accelerometers, it's not just like an absolute position value like conventional joysticks. Even wired it probably needs a preprocessor to convert it into useful data. Do I think it's impossible? Definitely not. I really hope a few teams have the resources to do it this year because it would be very interesting to see it incorporated into FIRST. I know that I would love to work with integrating the Wii in the offseason, but that's a bit aways... so I'm hoping some brilliant minds somewhere are working on it over these 6 weeks.
Build a student a robot and it will keep him/her busy for a few days in the spring. Teach a student how to build(design, wire, program) a robot and they will stay away from home, use some really strange language and wear funny clothes the whole year long. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
