DeepNote Guitar Hero bot reveals its secrets on video

Don't even try to deny it -- you've been holding one mean grudge against that ridiculously accurate DeepNote bot ever since you saw it dominate Guitar Hero in mid-July. Really though, all that pent up aggression is completely unnecessary, and if you've been fruitlessly aiming to concoct one of your own, we've found the perfect place to start. The video posted up after the jump gives a fantastic overview of how the device actually works, and while it's far (very far) from simple, it's nothing the seasoned DIYer couldn't handle on an extended weekend. Give it a look if you're head over heels for PCBs and flashing LEDs (oh, and shameless rock 'n roll).

[Thanks, Jeremy]

Almost makes you want to learn electrical engineering... almost.

But can it beat Through the Fire and Flames on Expert and make me a pizza at the same time? My instincts as a amature sports announcer are Indubitably YES!

While it is a cool project, I guess I fail to see the point. It's a game- and a machine playing a game for you just doesn't sound all that fun to me. I'll stick to pushing the buttons myself, thank you.

Sometimes things need to be done to prove they can.
