This will eventually be a computer controlled robot that plays tilt based iPhone games. Pretty cool eh?

I recorded a short video of the robot under manual control, including a bit of me playing a game while holding the camera and watching the phone through the camera screen. Its a bit twitchy but completely playable – tuning the logarithmic controls, and possibly adding some filtering should make manual control much better, though the computer shouldn’t have any problem controlling it either way. I just realized that I’ve made a mechanism to play tilt based phone games with a joystick. Neat.
