A NintendoWiiFanBoy blogger set out to make his own WiiFit balance board:

After a trip to the local hardware store, I came home with this. The plan is to use the tennis balls as the surface that contact’s the floor, and the fulcrum on which the board will shift. I’ll adhere them with the glue near the center of the laminated board, on the underside. Just one of the trays will be used to keep the balls neatly in place, and the foam pipe insulation will be to keep the edges of the board from wreaking havoc on my floors. Lastly, there’s grip tape so I don’t slide off and embed myself in my projection TV.

These materials in conjuction with a GlovePIE script were able to get this thing to work, to see photos and more on this, go HERE.
