summary

A hackathon-built robot called Tappy McTapFace uses a 3D-printed Tapster 2.0 design and an Arduino running Standard Firmata with the Johnny-Five JavaScript API to physically tap a phone; build costs about $300, 20 hours of printing and two days assembly. Demo plays tunes with timing quirks but works reliably enough. Suggested uses include long-run battery and login performance tests; a risk-based framework maps flows by frequency vs impact with colored sticky-note test breakdowns and recommends automating login first.
