Will Wright's Wii-controlled robotic arm photo

I just got handed a cool little note about Will Wright from a very special inside source at the Wright camp:

As you've seen, Will broke his arm while skiing. Well, because Will is a genius, he decided to build a robotic arm for himself. What's even cooler is that he can control this robotic arm with a Wiimote. I suppose after he's done with Spore, Will is gonna build an army of Robocops to police our streets.

Someone should do something to his other arm. I'd love to see Will waving the Wii-mote around with his leg.

And I sure hope Will wasn't a lefty. He probably has cranky ass due to not being able to wipe properly. That'd explain the face. Either that or Summa has cranky ass

I met a guy at work the other night - could have swore he was Will Wright - I wish he was, but not the case.

I don't understand why he would want to use a Wiimote to control his arm... but I s'pose that it's cool nonetheless.

Man, now I wish I would have made a robotic ribcage to reinforce the one I cracked skiing 3 weeks ago

Here's a full transcription of the keynote, although Summa's summary may be more useful.

With every cyborg-technology-enhancing application of the Wii, I can feel Summa warming just a little more to Nintendo.

Will has always had that weird face. It kind of creeps me out like he's got Asperger's Syndrome or something.
