Old robot learns new trick, becomes musician

Robotics

Here’s a fun thing to do with an older robot that you aren’t sure what to do with: turn it into a musical instrument! Using a motor to make music is nothing new, however this approach by LMR user RobotFreak is nice because you can try it without building any new hardware. This technique works because you can turn a motor on and off very quickly, causing it to act like a speaker.
