So are we going to have guitar hero tournaments with humans versus robots? just like the old chess tournaments with humans versus computers.

Why does everything with an atmel chip need to be compared to an arduino?

Maybe, instead of human v machines, the contest will be how quickly a human can assemble a machine to play Guitar Hero (and how accurately it plays).

In fact, to allow people from all over to compete, maybe someone could write an electronics simulator (like Eagle or somthing), so the competition is about design, as opposed to the quickness of assembly.

Of course, there would be some people who would cheat, by creating a piece of software or hardware to play the game for them.

Looks like he went all out with the fancy gold solenoids.

kevin, I agree, I’ve been complaining about it for a while. Usually MAKE is worse, as they are clearly trying to pimp out their store items.
