Impressive! Congrats on winning the Innovation in Control Award!

that is sweet. I think that is one of the coolest controlls that you can use. But all I can ask is can you do a face melter, and is it still using the level controlls and the whammy bar?

If by face melter you mean the spring-mounted little piece that allows you to jerk the controller and get the "Star Power" mode in-game, then no. We're also not using the whammy bar because it's a resistor and not an analog output, so interfacing with it would be more difficult.....but we wouldn't have really had a use for it anyway. The 5 buttons on the neck were used for high/med/low positions and manual up/down, the strumming was used for a manual load/unload, and the Select button was a on/off toggle for our auto-load function.

Agh!! Team 1611 wanted to choose you when picking alliances!! But Forsyth Alliance beat us to it! You guys were....WOW...Amazing!
The guitar was so neat! Your robot was really well designed....It stinks that you guys couldnt make it up our ramp. =/
Other than that you guys did a really great job!

I love the guitar hero idea. I bet it's a lot of fun for the person using it behind the player station.
