Two giant 15 ton metal cranes were made by some people and to spice things up a little, they made it so the arms could be controlled with a Wiimote. The metal arms motions are controlled with the Wiimote motions and oddly, it looks like a ton of fun controlling gigantic arms of doom with some waggling.

As awesome as this is, I can’t help but feel super paranoid if I was to make a mod like this. I mean, what happens if you forget to shut off the arm and go play a game on the Wii? You would end up destroying your backyard by playing Wii Sports! Oh the humanity!

Hit the break to check out the mod for yourselves!

So, instead of using a remote control they modded it to work with the wiimote. Funny I guess.
