While we've seen a nunchuk control a robotic camera (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/11/friday-video-nunchuk-camera-hack/) and the U.S. government's experimental Packbot (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/28/new-weapon-against-bomb-threats-waggle/http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/28/new-weapon-against-bomb-threats-waggle/), we've yet to see anything as sophisticated as this. With the video being past the post break (sorry, but it autoplays and we can't be having that on the main page), we'll save the narrative introduction of describing what this thing is and why it does what it does so well. Just know this: it's pretty awesome.
Cruise past the post break and check out this Wiimote-controlled robotic arm and see for yourself.
