Dude Makes Rock Band Playing Robot Because He can

So you think you're pretty great at Rock Band [App Store, $9.99] on your iPhone or iPod touch because you can beat your friends, eh? How about a machine? That's right, tough guy. Joe Bowers has created a machine with no purpose other than mastering Rock Band and putting us humans to shame doing so. It consists of a robotic "hand" that can detect changes in light, and it can play the game's highest level of difficulty without the help of us fleshy types.

I've seen this done, but rather on a larger scale.
I believe someone created a robot for the sake of beating one of the hardest songs on Guitar Hero 3 on the Xbox 360.
