Control your canoe with a Wiimote
For the ultimate in geek

If you love the great outdoors, but just don't really like the effort that comes with most of it, then some crazy developers have put together a device that means you could enjoy canoeing, without all that pesky paddling.
Take a look at the video and you'll see that some people with obviously too much time on their hands have modified canoes with small electric motors that are controllable by a Wiimote.
It is only a steering mechanism - at the moment anyway - so things like acceleration are not controlled by the Wiimote, just left and right. What we want to know is, what happens when the batteries run out. Better take a couple of paddles just in case...
