My Brain on Maui Wowie!

This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in the
"catcher cones."
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the
Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machine's
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft , Iowa ....Yes, farm equipment.
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video. As you can see, it
was WELL worth the effort.
It's now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University
and it's already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
(Looked too convincing to Snopes it)

Even so, gotta admit the animation is still pretty amazing in and of
itself....

I, a cgi artist, swore / it / had / to / be / animated when I first saw it.
Four fourth-generation QRIO prototype robots were featured dancing in the
Hell Yes music video by recording artist Beck. These prototypes lacked a
third camera in the center of the forehead and the improved hands and wrists
which were added to later prototypes. It took programmers three weeks to
program their choreography.

Carry on.
