Banjo Robot

edited February 2007 in Technology
After Scott's ToTD last week of the sax, I stumbled upon this device in our EE building today. I took some pictures of it cause I thought you guys would like to see it.
It takes in midi files and then plays it on the banjo. Haven't seen it working yet though. I'll try to find a video of it.

  • If I see a robot start playing dueling banjo's down by the scrap heap I'll be worried!

    Since it's a 5 string, it should be able to use Earl Scruggs' right hand roll technique and three-finger style. Or does it do clawhammer? Does it know any Doc Watson?

    If I see a robot playing dueling banjos down by the scrap heap I can die happy.
