i think i just broke my brain...]]>May 21st 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/
Or, if you had the arm programmed for inverse kinematics so it would mimic the wiimote's actual motion and made a chain or loop then they'd move almost together, but with a little delay so that there would be a cool cascading effect.]]>May 21st 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_philosophers_problem]]>May 22nd 2008 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/May 21st 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/May 21st 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/May 21st 2008 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/
Okay, an accelerometer made something move.

Yay.]]>May 21st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/
It isn't a matter of proving that an accelerometer could control the robot arm, but more of an inexpensive, intuitive way to control it. ]]>May 21st 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/wiimote-used-to-control-robotic-arm-effectively-this-time/

nationals. Not only did they have the robotic arm, but they also had
implemented Dance Dance Revolution using mainly FPGA's.
it was cool, apparently they had done just about everything from
generating the vga signals to syncing the beats to the music and
such. it was a really interesting setup, but sadly, it wasn't very
playable as a DDR variant >.<
