Rockband is a truly amazing game, especially since its arrival in the Apple app store, but I don’t think it was designed to be played by robots, except this one. Created by Joe Bowers, the robot racks up the highest amount of points in the least amount of time. It seems Mr. Bowers has way too much time on his hands. Bowers made the painstaing process of creating the robot look rather easy. The base for the entire project is within a simple iPhone Pelican case, where a mess of wires, a light sensor, and a bunch of Servos are housed.

The light sensor sends out signals for to an Arduino which then activates the Servos (in this case, the fingers) to tap up the points in Rockband. The servos made of copper wire embedded in foam and attached by a good amount of hot glue. Now, enough talk about the process of the machine, lets see the robot rock to the music! Check out the video.

The robot’s squeaky fingers can get annoying, but by the end we’re all amazed and smiling.
