Found on Youtube: Lego technics and Arduino: automated tapping machine

[TinkerBrick]

I just stumbled upon this on a Mac News site.

This guy build a machine to repeatedly and continuously tap his iPad to keep a freemium game active.

It seems as he is using a simple excenter wheel to lift and lower the tapping arm. I especially like the aluminum foil for providing conductivity for the touch.

The iPad is set on old style tires and moved left and right.

The builder uses this to earn the in-game currency overnight, so he can spend it in the morning not having to pay "hard" money.

I think it's brilliant. Having twice the fun (Gaming & LEGO) and "screwing" those annoying needs to earn in-game currencies to make some progress in the game.
