Michael Boo Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks to MC Jessup for informing me of this. Engineering students at the University of Idaho have created a human assisted robotic drum set. Can you see an application for this technology on the drum corps field? The robot, certainly in its infancy, doesn't do the playing...it just helps move clumsy equipment around the field, taking its clues from the person attached to it. Would something like this ever be allowed, and if so, how might it be utilized? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon8 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 So Drum Corps will have gone under the following sequence of evolution... Carrying bulky percussion equipment around Keeping bulky percussion equipment in the pit Letting a robot carry bulky percussion equipment around The next step...Marchers carrying a robot carrying bulky percussion equipment around and around the pit? Or maybe using a robot to carry around players and instruments in the pit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
