It kinda like a modern day Deep Blue, except it plays Guitar Hero. Awesome job!

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

Funny you should mention that. One of the existing guitar hero robots out there is called "Deep Note," named obviously after the famous chess playing computer Deep Blue. It is one of those that I mentioned which takes some short-cuts in our opinion. It attaches photo-sensors directly to the screen, and outputs electrical signals directly to the guitar. It has had its share of publicity, and touts its own web site, but we think our genuine TV-watching, guitar playing robot is much more interesting.

Here it is: http://mechanizedrock.com/

This makes me proud to be an alumni of 1986, and a reason I come back for more.

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

The robot was featured today on a local TV station...the link is below. We are having fun sharing it with our school and community.

I would like to see it attempt Through the Fire and flames.

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

We have had lots of questions/requests about TTFATF. This was sort of discussed earlier in this thread, although they were asking about Knights of Cydonia. We have to admit that the the bot has trouble with songs that have lots of zero-separation notes like TTFATF-expert. Simply can't distinguish the notes with no separation. As I mentioned earlier I believe the NI and other GH bots have the same issue, but we can't really speak for them. So yes, it could play it, but would lose to a good player. If its any consolation, he CAN play TTFATF-HARD!

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

We have had a few KC area teams ask if the GH robot will be at the Cowtown Throwdown. Cerner has asked us to bring it, so yes, it will be there.

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

That is pretty much amazing.

Even given the fact that I'm pretty much in awe of anyone who can play Guitar Hero well, as I'm positively terrible at it...

...still amazing!

TITAN continues to get opportunities to promote FIRST Robotics in our area. On Oct. 8th he was invited to perform for the Cerner Corporation Town Hall event at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. He was the pre-show entertainment for an audience of over 2,000. We had him challenge a couple of guitar-hero-ace Cerner associates to face-offs for the crowd, and he was a big hit (beat them both!).

Here's some video from the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUEVzjbzjD4

A broadcast journalism student at our school produced the following news story as a feature for our school TV channel. It gives a little more information about the making of the GH robot, and lets you meet the student who programmed him.

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

Holy cow, this is awesome. Can't believe I didn't find this on CD before now. I would REALLY like the chance to see this in person. Any chance you will bring it to Atlanta?

Re: Team 1986 introduces our new Guitar Hero Robot
 

In response to past and recent requests about if the GH robot will be appearing at events......he will be at the North Star Regional (upper concourse). As to whether he will be at Atlanta, that depends on what happens at North Star!

The head looks to be a Dell Studio 1737...am I right?

Also, has it paid itself off yet?
