I am assuming you are one of the folks on this project or at least know them...

Have you thought about putting a second solenoid on the other side of the strum bar? It would halve the effort of the strum solenoid and increase the time between firings for each of the two strum solenoids. It would also help the problem of the strum solenoid not recoiling fast enough during rapid sequences as it would be forcibly recalled by the opposing solenoid's firing. I suspect this is the source of many of the missed notes in this song as it seems to miss very quick double notes that are not hammer-ons/pull offs. Installing stronger springs and overvolting the solenoids is probably also a solution but you'd probably have to put heat sinks on them at that point.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/Apr 23rd 2008 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/Apr 23rd 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/]]>Apr 23rd 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/Apr 23rd 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/Apr 23rd 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/

GH3's windows are along the same lines at CS:S head shot hitboxes: XBOX HUGE. Anyone with fairly decent timing and was 4*ing most songs on GH2 could 5* half of GH3 on a first run.

Anyway, if you wanted the bot perfect, program the bot with the notecharts. Then you wouldn't even need to detect anything. You could even set the optimal star power paths. ScoreHero status bot. Granted, it wouldn't be able to do the squeezes without fudging the timing a bit, but for all intensive purposes 100%s with optimal star power is good enough.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/guitar-hero-slashbot-riffs-uncontrollably-plots-mankinds-dow/
