Spider robot is controlled using Wiimotes

Nothing says family fun like a terrifying, four-legged robotic spider being controlled by modified Wii controllers. Or does it? Because that's just what this thing is.

With a price of about $1,000, this is one fancy piece of useless machinery. I mean, it's certainly cool looking, but until it learns how to go fetch me a sandwich on its own, I think I'll pass on it. Even if it is controlled by Wiimotes.
