The grapple is cool, controlling it remotely is cool, using a $79AUD controller is cool, coding it would have been cool.

It's got tonnes of cool, 15 I believe. I would like to see what they do with a MotionPlus.

You mob are so jaded in your armchair nerd1ness, its like listening to an arm chair military expert sprouting crud about what some solider should do on the TV while they guzzle beer and have never left the house.]]>Jul 8th 2009 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/
Yet, the Bush admin shreds the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and a dozen international treaties, and he's "protecting" the citizens.The bush Admin was the most corrupt, abusive, defiant, unconstitutional administration in the history of this country.

- They manipulated intelligence and the media to start a preemptive war.
- They created an illegal, unconstitutional, wiretap dragnet of American citizens
- They ran an illegal program of extraordinary rendition to secret prisons in countries that torture
- They setup an extrajudicial, legal-black-hole of Guantuanamo bay, held in detention anyone "suspected of terrorism" and revoked their right to a trial or habeus corpus, holding them indefinitely.
- They created an implicit *wink wink* environment for torture and mistreatment of all detainees, not just "hardened terrorists".
- They undermined congressional legislation by the unconstitutional abuse of presidential signing statements
- They routinely stonewalled congressional and judicial oversight, and legally blocked any inquiry from outside of the white house, operating akin to a secretive, stalinist regime.
- They instituted secret "emergency" powers whereby the executive branch can declare a "state emergency" and suspend the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom against unlawful search and seizure.
- They abused the state secrets privilege to circumvent congressional and judicial oversight and to conceal illegal programs.
- They leaked highly classified information to the media in retribution to their critics.]]>Jul 11th 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 9th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/Jul 8th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/"Did I mention it can be controlled by a wiimote"

I'm sure this isn't meant as a serious implementation; besides, most of the gadgets I see these days are 'lame and gimmicky' - that's part of their appeal :)]]>Jul 8th 2009 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/
