Why play iPhone games yourself when you can build a robot to do it for you? [Video]

We’ve all been there, right? You download a game, can’t be bothered to play it so you build a robot to do it for you …

Engadget spotted this one.

Puzzle & Dragons is a ridiculously popular mobile game in Japan that tasks players with matching coloured orbs in order to take down enemy monsters. If you’ve played Pokemon Shuffle before, it’s just like that. To help with the trickier stages, YouTube user Junya Sakamoto has developed a robot that can play the game for him.

    I can’t wait to build a robot to watch a movie for me, I can’t be bothered to do so, nor do I need the entertainment.
