Hm. IMHO this can't be done. If it would be possible to remote control
all the complex movements, the human body is capable of, there would be
no reason to use one. You could easily build a robot then, which has got
a lot of advantages.
But, as I said before, I don't think it is possible. The amount of I/O-data
that is neccessary to translate all sensory data and all commands between
the rigger and the body is IMHO far beyond the capabilities of 2053's
remote controls. Additionally from my understanding of skillwires (I don't
own Sam's catalog) they don't enable you to use as many skills at once
as you want. And remenber : for a mindless body walking, turning around,
jumping etc. are skills which have to be processed via the wires.
No way, I think, unless you're a gamemaster and need it for a good plot
idea. Then just don't let the players get the stuff...
