Wait..What? Bicycle Hero: More Questions Than Answers

Posted: November 20th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: bicycle, guitar hero, musical instruments, video games | No Comments »


Some kids decided to combine bicycling with guitar hero. This raises a lot of questions for me…. like… if you like guitar hero that much, why did you just spend at least an hour placing colored dots on the street. And… how did you get that light bar thingy on your bike to light up at just the right time? And… you had friends in on this too? You had friends?

Any real gamer knows that paying tribute to a video game is nowhere near as fun as actually playing the game. Now, I want to see the extreme mountain biking version of this, complete with breaks to catch your breath! Just add a pause button to your bike, it’ll be totally believable.

Drum Machine Robot

Check out this cool little robot- it roams around trying to find stuff to strike. When it finds something that makes a good sound, it starts to make it’s own little rhythm and plays on the ‘instrument’ for a little while before venturing off to play on something else. What is really cool is that the inventor reveals all of the tricks and equipment that he used to make it. See a video of the robot in action here, and at the previous link.
