Uli Kilian built a LEGO robot, powered by an Arduino board and connected to a Windows machine, to play Jurassic Park Builder on his iPad all night long.

I started playing the annoying but very addictive game “Jurassic Park Builder” a couple of weeks ago. And of course I didn’t want to spend any real money on it so I built this little machine which taps the device the whole night and thus collects automatically the points

Cortado: Connect Your Physical Things To The Digital World [video]

Cortado connects your physical things to the digital world. It’s an Arduino that you’ll never plug in, and it works on all your favorite platforms including mobile (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android).

Arduino is one of the easiest platforms to get started building hardware, but since it’s creation the method of operation has remained unchanged – plug it into your Mac or PC to develop, then only when it is totally finished, build it into your project.

The Punch Through team is aiming to change that with their BLE enabled LightBlue Cortado, which allows you to develop Arduino applications wirelessly from nearly any platform (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows).  To illustrate this fact, they claim that you’ll be able to use it right away upon delivery – without even opening the box.  They even go a step further and say that if you download their iPhone App now, you will get a notification when it is being delivered to your door, making use of Apple’s support of Bluetooth LE.
