I can totally see this roaming around my house and trying to create mad beats by hitting my dog.
Bobs @ Mar 23rd 2008 2:32AM

ai4281 @ Mar 23rd 2008 2:53AM
what do you call a non-musician that hangs out with the band? A Drummer!!
Well, now we can replace them with Robots.
Prezzie @ Mar 23rd 2008 3:07AM
Obviously, you've never actually tried to play drums...
murray @ Mar 23rd 2008 3:05AM

Michael LaFramboise @ Mar 23rd 2008 3:14AM
WALL*E? Is that you?!
anonymous @ Mar 23rd 2008 3:32AM

gpdrummr @ Mar 23rd 2008 4:03AM

But can he play Slayer - Raining Blood?
Ghen @ Mar 23rd 2008 3:17PM
Nobody can play Raining Blood... and nobody wants to.
Jarhead2012 @ Mar 24th 2008 6:01AM
@ Ghen- I loled
Bad Beaver @ Mar 23rd 2008 7:00AM
That thing is a masterpiece, with every aspect adding to its cuteness, the color, the bouncy movement, the wiggly head... and it's got rhythm! Far out!
AKBlade13 @ Mar 23rd 2008 8:01AM
Mass Production so I can buy this please. :D
AKBlade13
Bobs @ Mar 23rd 2008 8:52AM
Quick question, why did you put AKBlade13 at the end of your comment?
Bobs @ Mar 24th 2008 8:58PM
Wow, that reached highest ranked pretty fast, I guess im not the only one who wants to know why.
kamisori @ Mar 23rd 2008 11:21AM

i would love to have one roaming around my flat... xD and beating the shit out of my dog... nah just kiddin my dog would be scared to hell of this cute lil drummer boy xD
anyways, seriously cool machine... and cute ^___^ i mean look at how it "looks" around xD soo cute... a must/want have ^^
Tristan @ Mar 23rd 2008 4:53PM
lay off the coke
Schteve @ Mar 23rd 2008 11:24AM
Not mass-production, that'd ruin half the appeal.
A kit, on the other hand, would be AWESOME. And well worth $120 (price he gives for parts).
CraigJ @ Mar 23rd 2008 11:44AM
It's no Neil Peart, but still a noteworthy achievement, but it does need MORE COWBELL!
nghtdvl @ Mar 23rd 2008 2:52PM
If you think that's awesome, you probably don't know about Captured by Robots!... a band mostly made up of robots... and their human prisoner.

He has horn robots also, now.
Flaminsteve @ Mar 23rd 2008 7:44PM
I for one welcome our new beat making overlords...
Flaminsteve @ Mar 23rd 2008 7:57PM
Had to say it....
Scott Stevenson @ Mar 23rd 2008 8:10PM
This robot has an amazing amount of personality for what it is. Very well done by the creator.
-Scott
psilver @ Mar 23rd 2008 8:57PM
This is really neat! I commend those who do these things. :)
wo @ Mar 23rd 2008 11:05PM
insanely tight! this robot made funkiness in a fraction of the time it would take me to come up with a tight beat. we one step closer to the singularity.
fritsl @ Mar 24th 2008 10:04AM
Thanks, everybody :)
Thank you so very much! how inspiring :)
I was wondering where all the traffic came from, and found it to be here with all you nice people :) - even though the article is a bit "off beat" (the 2 things in front are ultra sonic sensors, not really "microphones", the microphone is under the deck, and even though it is not the final video showing, and the kind people at engadget show my photo without asking, and without linking to letsmakerobots.com .. it is all so merry and joy!
Thanks again, I consider making "a friend" for it, so they can play together.. but I think I am going for some sort of silly walk - "the eternal flip" for next project, next weekend :)
And.. Yes - let me advertise for free for my hobby now shared with the planet; I have made a walk through of how to make these easy robots, everyone can make one in 2 hours:

Thanks again, you are funky too, says the little blushing robot on yellow tracks next to me :)
fritsl @ Mar 24th 2008 5:53PM
I have made a sing-along version as a thank you for all the cool feedback :)
