They were bored: hooking up Wii Balance Board to Lego trucks to play mini soccer

We’ve seen the Wii Fit Balance Board hacked to stroll through Google Street View, and even through World of Warcraft’s Azeroth, but this one gets my vote. Some guys hooked up the balance board to two LEGO Mindstorms Trucks to play some small rig soccer.
