[lolbobs]

Best video ever.

[sylvestsharron]

amazing .. thanks for sharing .. god bless

[Lazy0Waffle]

It's only a matter of time until they start creating procedurally generated music and playing it by themselves. The robot apocalypse is nigh.

[trainguy111]

What MIDI channel is the theremin robot set to?

[johnboykfc]

1:47.....The angry BEES are taking over...

[dalagutten]

very impressive

[psykorida]

[yeapsystar]

Great to see that you even can make from the most simple things like empty milk packages a great oncert!

Must been quite some experience building this, allthough I prefere to play stuff by myself ;-)

[joniwhytestar]

i can do the same with my laptop.

one button and the music play by itself.

[grymmtymm]

you have way too much time on your hands

[bogleby]

Thumpbot checked into the Betty Ford Clinic last week ... he'd been on a six week bender of crystal meth and groupies and got arrested after trashing his suite at the Holiday Inn.

[Arcto]

I heard he OD'd on Duracell.

[MrDantheguitarman]

[RobertoRebelato]

WELL DONE BUT NOT COOL, SOUNDS FREAK

[Dreterror]

whehe cool

[dav1dhoang]

hmmm, is the air pressure controlling that thing o,0 respond back plz i wanna know o,0

[gorgo333]

it basically sends a radiowave and amplifies the disturbance of your hand or watever.

[madamerotten]

That's one hell of a vague explanation.

[gorgo333]

-_-

[madamerotten]

:((

[soylentgreenb]

"That's one hell of a vague explanation."

The frequency-control antenna is part of a capacitor; if you stick your hand or some object near it it will act as a grounded plate and change the capacitance.

The capacitor is part of a radio frequency LC oscillator.

Since the frequency is too high to be audible, you must amplitude modulate with a fixed reference oscillator of almost the same frequency to get sidebands at the sum and difference(e.g. 150 kHz - 149 kHz = 1000 Hz, which is audible).

[Jimster666]

Ha thats pretty damn clever. Must have taken ages to program and what not.

Is this thing MIDI based?

It would be amazing if it was... Theremid with an Organic-909 XD

[agent3diego]

Jeez!!! Man!!! You rock!!!!!

[charlienutsak]

[balisongman07]

R&B, or soul id say

[NerdsWithAttitude]

[HomeboyNJ08]

cockies and poo poo farts to this. ;-) cocky cocky cocky. ( Did I mention cocky? )

[Cliff425]

Ye Your Cool!!!

Retard

[medialabmonkey]

you'll never make a robot that sounds even 1/4 as good as Randy George. ;) I mean, this is a really cool, and funny vid and effort. . .but anyone who takes the human factor out of the theremin is missing the point, it's just a prop for a Rube Goldberg gimmick once the human expression is removed.

[panmandan]

How does that buzzing bot work?

[Trombonauta]

o my god!

[caroltiggs]

"too much time on your hands", "think of all the amazing things you coulda done instead of this" etc... these are incredibly stupid comments. I'd like to see what you do in your spare time...

[deacon377]

[rosaplastsked]

[Sentinel4truth]

Nice, could use a little tweaking to keep the Theremin device from being flat on certain notes, other than that it's really cool!

the whole time i watched that, i couldnt believe it to be real, but i know it is.
