This robot uses sensors to look for the blips streaming down the screen and cool simulated fingers to jam on the touchscreen. The Arduino code is available so you can make your own iPhone Rockband robot. Thanks

If this is something that you would like to contribute to why not contact the author and see how you can help. Thanks Diederick "What can you attach to your
