>How does the Wii mote recharge its batteries?  Is it USB based or does it require a special charging unit?  If it's USB based then that's an easy solution, I'll just put a USB jack in the gun. 

It requires special charging units called "batteries".  Of the AA variety to be exact =p

>Last question for now, what is the physical size of the Wii mote?  The circuit board will obviously be a lot thinner than the case for the Wii mote, but it still looks a bit big for a pistol.

It's actually a little small for a pistol with out the grip.  I'd say it's about 6"x1.5".

I did read where it takes AA batteries, but also see charging stands you can get.

I know many people will be using the Wii mote guns that you can buy, but I have these I plan on using! ;)


As well as a rather nasty 1:1 scale 50 cal Desert Eagle that has a blow back recoil that puts the TopGun to shame, and it also goes full auto 8)

So for me also figuring out a way to charge or change batteries without having to take the gun apart is going to be important.

There won't be a problem at all fitting them in the rifles, but other than a Desert Eagle or Robocop gun, the 6" part is the killer for me.  The GyroTransport is 1.5"x2.75", perfect size, but not what we need. :(

I think I'll spin this off into another thread, I got all excited and forgot most people will be using the Nyko Perfect Shot or something like that.

Any status updates?

wbassett:

I second that, any news?
