First Off...

In General that is just an epic idea and one of the coolest things you could do with a Robot Post Competition.

But even better...

Your Team AND your Robot are both doing an awesome thing for those in need. Kudos to you and the rest of 1557!

Like said before in this thread I'd love to see a video of it in action!

Thanks,

I'll try and get a video of it thursday, I dont really have a "video camera" so ill try and get my mentors I-Phone, we can program it to play other songs too, we just have to work out all the little adjustements to make it sound right and play correctly, It's really finnikey, we didnt have time to make everything perfect in one morning, so we'll have to see what we can do thursday.

Hm...

...Carol of the Bells, please? Or would that take another octave or two of bells? I haven't played the song in a while, I honestly don't remember how high/low it goes.

We could do it, it would Just sound horrible, it's really complicated to program it to play a song like that, even with a simple song like frosty the snowman, we had to cut out notes and adjust the timing alot. It seems to work best with songs that have a specific timing.
