Guitar Hero Robot System Tour

[michiganhoc]

Pretty cool, but it was missing notes, why?

[EXSOSGTX]

not perfect but i like it :D

[franklynd]

stupid question : did you use a softcore on the fpga or is it all data driven ?.

[wilfeatscheese]

what is all the electrick stuff

[jspatz1]

Check out another guitar hero robot by searching "guitar hero robot 1986"

[MCruzerProductions]

awsome! make smaller ones and sell em for the hardest songs... like through the fire and flames...

[chiminari]

my wii code is 5241 8431 0622

[HotelErotica]

I love people that say the bot sucks when i doubt they could even figure out how to rig up the wires to the guitar let alone make the circuit board. ;) good job pretty awesome in my opinion..

[chickenpecker2006]

what the hell is the AHHH sound!???

[r0b0kar]

its cuz the bot missed a note

[SuckXmyXchickeN]

Birds

[Zinzzi]

needs work ha

[skaterpeep94]

lol dude what a waste of time. sorry

[evilpoptart37]

is sum1 having sex in the bg because i heard like a moan

[BulletHazard]

since the robot since doesnt even have to press the buttons i would of thought it would be dead on.

[Darkfire889]

cool but it needs work....

[getalifenooob]

theres something that i find funny. you both suck at guitar hero :)

[ThighDeepinTofu13]

bird in backround?

[perfectkill111]

nah its his mum

[mybuttcheeks]

that bot sucks

[sagargondaliya4]

lol it mssd up. thgh it is wsm

[hudders123]

lol wtf was that moan in the background were you watching porn or sumthing lol

[trbewick]

That was a bird...

His pet bird

[Boffo3]

his bird, mimicing the endless porn he's heard - nice setup tho

[daryou1]

thats sick

[islandnetwork]

pretty cool but still needs work.

[hiopppe]

yesss why should I play guitar hero when I can put countless hours into making a robot that plays the game for me

[grinder186]

if its a robot, why did it mess up, and why did it play by itself in the beggining?

[uzamaki432]

i beat icould beat that bot of your online on expert or the wii

[milan4kTodInTel]

lol

[GH3DOMINATOR201]

pretty cool. how did u make it? i'd like to see a video or really long description on my page that shows you how to make it. sweet!

[TAJoycieC]

Nice, xD

This is what robots were built to do ;D!

One question... is that a dog, a chicken or a lady having rough sex in the background?

Seriously?

[RedWolf69]

It's all three of em together...

[flamelance50166]

think old lady

[verlex]

he was watching porn

[thewhorocks524]

OMG! A GHOST IS PLAYING GUITAR HERO!

[hugman99]

cool but pretty lame that u spent so much time on this just to get a good hight score

[michaelagh1]

Hard to understand, eh? How about just to do something difficult.

[turkkam]

U programmed your MCU to send timed keystrokes ? :)

[leafmanexe]

Dude your Guitar Hero robot looks like a bomb,but it's pretty good try and make it look like Metalhead that would ironic and cool!

[crovax519]

what else is there to say. Everyone already said everything, But one thing YOUR A JASKASS

[michaelagh1]

it's spelled JACKASS

[witchkingofangmar1]

darn, now theres a bot using a other character than slash.

[witchkingofangmar1]

it still are good though, that thing takes effort to build i think.

[sspoke]

I guess you hooked up guitar to your little assembly tool there and it sends back key commands back to guitar as playing

the assembly tool was programmed in some kind of computer langanuge yaH?

[gevst21]

I can't believe this is true. I would have to see a shot of the entire set up, who can confirm there isn't someone behind you playing?

[xbox360andNDSdude]

wow...

[skylermahoney]

wow u must have had alot of spare time on ur hands

[michaelagh1]

way too much.

[jokerman93]

all that stuff.. just to do guitar hero, and it's still not even perfect.

[RonzilWeazleBack]

still aint perfect

[Dontpanicamhispanic9]

no life !!!

[michaelagh1]

Yes life - learned a whole bunch of stuff.

[greenlikematt]

i don;t understand how you did this, but it is great.good job!

and maybe people will start to understand that you made this, because you can! Anyone with negative thoughts needs to build a better robot first.

[Magicalityy]

Try your system at Hyperspeed 5. It will spread the notes further apart and might make it easier to pick repeating notes.

[mistercleav]

TAKE OFF LAST SECONDS END THE VID AT

[RaRMsw]

wow

[silentsniper914]

missed a hew notes though! still hope for humanity!

[McEmpseli]

Nice:D

[con17448]

how do u h=get the robot char?

[michaelagh1]

char? I'm not sure I know what you mean.

[Slayer34214]

Its not bad needs a lot more work to get perfected. So far it is really good.

[Kuranes83]

Awesome! And to those who are saying this is not legit, remember you have to program a robot to do the task at hand. Unless of course you are talking AI.

[michaelagh1]

Bravo.  It was FUN and I'm still enjoying it.

[Gypsylicious]

Congrats. you just made it more better For Fat People. the lazy ass ones who just want to watch and not play. Fantastic job

[michaelagh1]

You forget it takes a fair amount of energy to build something. And, lighten up, I'm losing weight.

[002E00]

Amazing job man. 5/5.

[Tyishwa]

not a robot, the system would have to be flawless to even operate. missing one note would mean the whole order getting mixed up.

in other words, someone else was playing, or it was a recording and the lights on the chip were simply programmed to show the order of the notes.

hey look everyone, this guy's just a big fat PHONY.

[LuC1Fr]

you sir, are an idiot. is it the fact that you think it's impossible to do this? it is, you would be amazed with the things you can do with Microcontrollers, or even bigger Electronic projects, such as this one.

[michaelagh1]

Well, lets see. Its interesting that you don't understand that it was all about the learning. Never that it couldn't be done, just that I learned enough to do it.

[LuC1Fr]

The way i worded my post it sounded as if i was doubting it was possible. Which is not what i meant. I know its possible, and this video even proves it. but nonetheless Good job.

[michaelagh1]

Yep, you found me out. Clearly you did a lot of research - and I see you're clearly a brilliant thinker. Good job.

[nidub11]

it messed up

[IansTubes]

I think thats really stupid...wats the point of playin the game if ur just lettin the robot do everything...

[pinoyzlayer]

Thats pretty talented. Why the fuck would you do it on a Wii tho?

[welchgray]

robots not that great compared to another one ive seen

[coreylarson]

That's awesome, do they have them for the 360? Haha.

[michaelagh1]

Thanks, it was great fun building.

[bf2jay88]

lol, the robot is not really good...

[michaelagh1]

Ah, but it gets better every day.

[HyDroBionic]

haha what a losaer creating a robot for guitar hero on the WII what a waste of time

[shadow51090]

Make it play Through Fire and Flame

[shilohisms]

I bet EVERYONE who dissed this never played any video games in "god mode" .. right? At least this took some initiative! Kudos, dude!

[andrei89]

i can do that without a machine =)

[Mr1ManlyMan]

thats one way to be number 1 on the leader boards

[babyboombox]

it would be cool if you could get it to play with you

[TruPlayer99]

shut up bird in background

[michaelagh1]

Hey, that's my buddy, Izzy.

[lilxninja92]

Thats pretty tight *thumbs up*

[michaelagh1]

Thanks, I had a good time building it.

[entaiku]

He is just showing that he got a robot to play the game,not that he sucks and wants to use a robot to play the game for him. ^_^

[LLLhacker]

it sounds like someones grandma is dieing in the background

[michaelagh1]

Nice.

[thebirdandthewormyo]

ur robot sux dude.

[michaelagh1]

Does not.

[shawtty613]

why would you spend so much time doing this?... just play the game yourself, if you're not good at it then get another game.

[CellphoneJohn]

the fuck is he point of that?

[kentondangerous]

i just don't really see the point of a machine that plays a video game for you.

[w00tw00t117]

your robot sux

[michaelagh1]

Does not.

[ehen101]

Wii is fag.

[matacoz]

What song is this robot playing? :D Nice job BTW! Truly amazing.

[michaelagh1]

Thanks.  Cliffs of Dover.

[JonnyJE]

lol thats pretty hilarious seeing a mass of wires leading to the guitar like that

[michaelagh1]

Thanks. It did take a lot of wires...

[drewharr20]

ok why would you take the time to do something like that? why not just play instread of wasting your time?

[hcwalkingeagle]

ummm because its frakin awesome

[lxTriumphxl]

pretty nice but it was missing alot @___@

[michaelagh1]

We have the technology.  We're making it better...

[RebelGhoszt]

making the technology better to cheat and watch the game be simmed?

[tripredicus]

I noticed it missing some notes... what is the accuracy of the device, and why exactly is it missing some of the button presses?

[michaelagh1]

I don't know. Getting better is all a small matter of programming (well, and some hardware design improvement). It's getting better daily.

[goldenbird15]

you suck at GH so u built a robot to play it for you?

[michaelagh1]

Yep.

[Mahalie729]

Haha, nicely done. I saw something like this done on an episode of Systm.

[michaelagh1]

Thanks. It was a lot of fun to design and build. I learned a lot.

[Ooshbala]

wow your cool. i thought the vid was cool althogh, im a little skeptical.

[letterswewrote]

did you ever consider the fact that sometimes people build things like that

[outskut]

niiice

-props

[mullent169]

thats like super cheating

[ChickenBot]

Amazing, but it is the duty of every person in this world to point out that:

"Some people just have waaaay too much time in their hands"

[michaelagh1]

So true. Got something for me to build?

[ChickenBot]

It all depends, how much do charge?

[Cidiich]

very nice

[str1ker12345]

Dude that was aaawsome! was it difficult to make?

[michaelagh1]

I deleted someone by mistake. The comment was about it being a robot and why can't it get 100%. It should, and it may in the future. Things are different each time it goes through the song - it doesn't even get the same score each time. I've got two problems to fix and then we'll see how well and how consistant it becomes - michael

[riantbuffo]

/watch?v=FJFwcaFs-Bs

[js21392]

awsome, but way toooo much work to only do that!!!

[michaelagh1]

wayyyy tooo muccchhhh. But, mostly it wasn't work. That's the goofy part - it was great fun.

[aumwithy]

/watch?v=FJFwcaFs-Bs

[monker59]

wow, I can play expert on that song better than the robot

[michaelagh1]

I'll work on that...

[puppet33r27]

gotta love the parrot :D XD

[michaelagh1]

That's Izzy. She's a Blue and Gold Macaw - 1-1/2 years old.  Says hello a lot.

[jmjajk]

Hey! Is that a Nexys board?

[michaelagh1]

Spartan-3 Board from Digilent

[michaelagh1]

Nope, a Digilent Spartan-3 board.

[highninja10]

you dont have to make one ..you could buy one ..

thats how some people get 100% ..cause they use the robot to cheat

[michaelagh1]

Ah, but the fun is making one.

[judgementday999]

iguess i dont get it cuz im not a nerd. You must be though, cuz you and that robot computer thingy looks like it took a year and a half to build. but you only took like 5 mins. nerd!!! geek!!! dork!!!

[michaelagh1]

Dork yes, Geek yes, Nerd no.

[CeroRasengan]

is that a parrot in the background

[michaelagh1]

Yep, good ears. That's Izzy.  She says she's tired of hearing cliffs of dover too.

[fadedassassin]

....why not just play the game O.o lol but all in all beautiful machine, now to fit that in a guitar...

[michaelagh1]

Just can't do it as well as the robot. It's fun to watch the robot try a song.

I think I could look like I'm playing it correctly and the buttons could do nothing. Wouldn't that be cool.

[lilskatapunk]

Cool....

[xNonchaloir]

This is the stuff of nerdy boners. :P Phenomenal work; this blew me away. That must've taken forever.

[michaelagh1]

I've been at it since the beginning of the year, on and off as work permits.  Like it says on the website, there's no good reason to do this.

[Neodudeman]

That's really nicely done. Can you show it playing Dragonforce?

[michaelagh1]

I don't have dragonforce??

[NonnagLava]

To get through the fire and flames (by dragon force) you have to beat a difficulkty, if thats what your wondering.

Ala in all nice peice of tech. its insane, must have been a pain to build

[michaelagh1]

I found it - I'm glad I didn't know about this song when I was working on the project. It didn't do well. Many of the notes are very (very) close together. Good for about the first 100 notes or so and then, well, not so good. I tried it on training and it got 74% of the notes (not so good) and a 245 streak (that's pretty good). Michael

[dinopio]

what do u mean, 5th grade of course

[dinopio]

what do u mean, 5th grade of course

[sithvegeta]

Awesome... where'd you learn to build stuff like that?

[michaelagh1]

I'm old...

[redpen007]

lol thats a little excessive

[michaelagh1]

a little???
