[ozcczbih] Robot to play a computer game

Create a robot to play a computer game.  But the robot does not need a camera to look at the screen, or hands and fingers to move the mouse and keyboard.  Instead it can be directly plugged into the cables and read the video signal and synthetically generate the mouse and keyboard signals electrically.

The inspiration was the 5D magic cube (5 dimensional Rubik's cube!), though there's a 7D version that is even more impossible for humans to do.

Even more trippily, the robot can computer graphically render itself with an avatar in virtual reality, operating a virtual keyboard and mouse in front of the real display image, so the humans can enter the virtual reality to watch what it is doing.

Probably end up gold farming.
