Gamer Builds Achievement-Earning Robot

Filed in archive Hacks on February 19, 2007

I've got a dilemma. I hate achievement points, but I love robots -- so do I love this handmade erector-set robot for its ingenuity? or do I hate it for its function? -- tapping buttons repeatedly to play through enough online matches of Perfect Dark to earn its maker some 60 gamerscore points. Ponder with me as you watch this video of the Achieve-o-bot in action:



If nothing else I suppose this shows you exactly how inane some of these achievements are. After all, that's supposed to be you sitting there mindlessly tapping the buttons, not your robot companion. I give the guy 100 XboxSpace points for effort.
