A group of electrical engineering students at Texas A&M University has fabricated the ultimate in video game leisure technology. Bored with actually having to play Guitar Hero and score their own hollow victories, the group fabricated a series of levers and switches that fit over the guitar controller. The inventors then integrated the device to a program that analyzes the video signal to determine when to hit the notes. The robot can achieve up to a ninety-six percent rating on some of the harder selections on Guitar Hero III, giving the overmatched human a possible leg up on reaching some the heretofore almost unattainable achievement goals in the game. Let it never be said that the American well of ingenuity is anywhere close to running dry. [Gizmodo]
