That's amazing! I love that they actually spent the time finding bottles with the right tones to do this.

I can't access break.com from here. Can someone explain the references to bottles? Is the RC controlling servos to play a tune in the manner of a xylophone or something?

Re: Playing Mario Tune with RC Card
 

No, there are hundreds of glass bottles standing up in what appears to be a parking garage and they drive an RC with antenae on the sides so that the bottles ring.

It's really neat!

RC meaning RC car, not Robot Controller.

yeah, sorry, i forgot to specify.

So.... the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title of this thread was:

"Sweet! Varying the PWM frequency to make the motors sound like they're playing a song while driving!"

And then... it had bottles. Not what I was expecting, but cool anyhow! :]
