Wii Robot Soccer

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 17 of November , 2008 at 7:00 am

This is one of those kinda lame YouTube videos where the credits are not only in the default white-on-blue Windows Movie Maker style, but they’re longer than the actual content of the clip. Oh well. My roommate just bought a Wii Fit, so I find the idea of using the balance pad to control soccer playing Lego Mindstorms robots far more appealing that the running in place and crap that the actual Wii Fit game suggests I do. This is just another step towards my fantasy of using the Wii Fit to control humanoid robots who will do all of the actual exercises for me. And then somehow, I’d get in shape. I’m just missing the middle bit that the ‘somehow’ refers to, but as soon as I get that figured out, I’ll be good to go.
