My friend built a robot band

awesome who is the "singer"? I can't see "him" :teeth:

 

it's very subtle and hard to spot - but if you look at the rhythm guitar and then look up - you might see a speaker like construct there

that is super duper awesome! how easy was it to program the song?

what are they saying / singing actually? I hear something like "thank you, I love you" is that right?

Dude isnt saying he invented robot bands. He just made one because he enjoys making stuff.

This is awesome.

Here you go Springy :laughing:

The Trons have totally sold out, they're just serving trendy hipster assholes now.

i still kind of think he's done the hard stuff now - actually programming it to work and that - but he's got another 10% or something left just to add some sort of visual interest to it. like add some moving parts or something there.

 

Wwe were talking about that the other day. Pretty much every other robot band out there has a strong "theatre" aspect to it. Greg's band is more of a band band. The only movement they do is that required to make the sounds. Personally I think he should hang on to that as a point of difference and not get carried away with adding movement for it's own sake. They already move more than a real indie band anyway!

They sound like a Velvet Underground cover band (it's the single string lead guitar that does it I think).

that and the fact they are covering Sister Ray

what's up with the one string anyhow? just cause it's easier? and the rhythm guitarist can't hit the higher frets (or do i mean lower)? and the keyboardist can't play the black keys? and there's no proper kick, just a weenie drumstick beating on the kick drum?

 

upon further examination, i find the trons lacking!

i'm sure your robot band is way better
