The New York Tim Hirzel is an electronics genius and a lover of navigation that has found an amazing way to combine his two passions, changing his canoe so it can be controlled automatically.

As with most detail on his blog Growdown to automate their canoe Hirzel has used the Nunchuk of the Wii using a mathematical library and has full control over your boat, not only with the stick and buttons, but also taking advantage its accelerometers. Nintendo does not know the extent to which its controller is revolutionary.
