Lazy Musicians Spawn Robot Ukulele

densetsu writes: "Three weeks ago, instead of forking over 5 whole bucks for an actual ukelele instruction booklet, I decided to teach myself for free using internet resources. Now that my will (and fingers) have been broken, these guys offer a faustian shortcut. They built a Lego Mindstorms-powered REMOTE CONTROLLED self-playing ukulele. The site has some nice photos and mindstorms code. Rock super-stardom, here I come!"

With this technology, they're well on their way to being the loudest band in the universe. Now we just need a good interplanetary internet backbone, so they can send the robot commands from orbit (preferably around a different planet).
