The Singing Bowls Robot V2
Still some work to do to iron out the tone – other than that, this one is excellent – the motors are really quiet – the foam works really well – easy to work, good quietening characteristics and really strong. I am very proud of the spring loaded servo connection to the playing stick – this allows for small variations in pressure and for minor in-consistencies in the bowls symmetry. You can see the Arduino and Xbee in a pocket and the battery pack goes in the other side.
In the end I will have 6 sets that can be hung in a space generating physical diffusion of sound. I am also thinking they could be used for perambulatory performances.
