The machine apocalypse can wait; robot busy playing Angry Birds

I've got to admit, I've never seen the appeal of Angry Birds. The game just isn't that fun to me. I know a lot of readers disagree with that, and now I know of one robot that would disagree as well. Yes, Finnish company OptoFidelity has created a robot with the sole purpose of playing Angry Birds.
Impressive? Yes. Kinda stupid? Yes. But then again, it's better than them creating robots that can kill you, which other companies are doing right at this moment. Speaking of which, OptoFidelity has created a video, appropriately titled "Mac vs. Machine," which shows the robot getting its game on. Check it out below.

Imagine if it played Portal and Portal 2. What ideas might it get from those games?

Cool video but not informative, hard to say what was really happening or if the machine was really doing well.

And what level could you get three stars with just 22000 points?
