Wii-controlled Canoe

It’s summer and isn’t it time you got out of the house to get a little bit of tan on that pale body? If you’re so hard up on not letting the Wiimote go, why not settle for a Wii-controlled canoe? The boat you see in the video above is powered by a tiny electric motor, where a modified Wii Nunchuck is used with an Arduino to steer the canoe. This will last as long as the batteries don’t die (naturally), where you’ll then need to rely on paddle power instead.
