Guitar Hero Bot
I wrote some software and designed some hardware to make a bot that plays Guitar Hero. It's pretty nifty

Pretty neat, and seems like it would have been a fun project to make, but what exactly is the purpose?

I was really going for what made him want to make such a program, than to say it doesnt have a purpose or imply it was a waste of time. Cause no programming if you enjoy it is a waste of time.

It seemed like an interesting idea. It's summer, I've got a break from classes, so why not take on some interesting projects?
