Labyrinth game controlled by an Arduino and Wii Fit
MAKE Magazine —
Bill sent in this cool project that uses an Arduino and a WiiFit balance board to control a marble labyrinth game. It looks like a lot of fun! [Thanks Bill]
Plug an Arduino and two servos into a wooden labyrinth board game then add some programming and a WiiFit board and you have instant fun. The robotic labyrinth game debuted as our regular weekly CCCKC meetings resumed after the holidays. It was an instant hit and now videos capturing this inaugural event are showing up around the Internet.

Wii Balance Board controlled Labyrinth Game
Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog —
Jestin Stoffel and Vince Thompson of the CCCKC have created a cool Wii Balance Board controlled Labyrinth Game which uses an Arduino microcontroller to handle some of the interface.
"Currently the game is using two servos and an Arduino to turn the knobs that move the game surface. I bought my Labyrinth game at a Tuesday Morning store for less than $10. The servos were about $10 each and my Arduino cost around $30. I often use the AdaFruit BoArduinos in the robotics workshops I teach which cost $17.50 so that could reduce the overall cost to build this project."

Wii Balance Board Controls Labyrinth
Gadget Venue —
The Labyrinth game requires that you move a ball bearing from one end to the other of the maze. Jestin Stoffel and Vince Thompson decided that rather then using the regular method to play the game that they would instead hack together a few things so that your Wii Balance Board could control the maze.
Check out the video below to see it in action.
