TASBot's very first run at a charity event was on January 5th, 2014 at AGDQ 2014 playing adelikat's TAS of Gradius with two console verification TAS replay attempts on a real console using true's NES/SNES replay device held in TASBot's hands. This TASBot HD presentation with full attribution is superscaled with Resolve to 4k Ultra HD.

TASBot HD is an opportunity to clean up past charity event run videos with full attribution of the TAS authors and presenters that helped make it all happen. The original videos were often posted in lower quality on scattered channels with uneven editing and this is a chance to create high quality TASBot history reference videos to honor everyone who helped out for charity. This run of Gradius by TAS author adelikat was shown at Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Please update the TASBot wiki page for this run at https://TAS.Bot/wiki/AGDQ_2014 with any missing attribution or other run details; the wiki entry also includes historical original resolution video links.

Nintendo Entertainment System Gradius Tool-Assisted Speedrun by adelikat, author notes at https://tasvideos.org/1324S and published on TASVideos at https://tasvideos.org/711M with this description: "In this run, adelikat picks up maximum speed upgrades and has fun with perfect reflexes, much like the previous movie. That is certainly something nice to do, because the game scrolls automatically and the player cannot affect the speed. However, the point of this movie is not just to beat this game as fast as possible, but rather to do all kinds of unpredictable and awe-inspiring things rarely seen in any TAS — without losing time. See for yourself.
This is probably one of the best illustrations on how to create art out of a simplistic and otherwise uninteresting game to watch. What is also different about this movie is an extra warp which significantly shortens the game, and the use of a new tool (input macro) as described in the submission text. Bots are occasionally used to generate pseudorandom input while still avoiding death."
