Build: MINDSTORMS Piano

This is a piano build I have been working on, and I really hope you like the creativity of it! I have not yet managed to code it, but if you want to, it would not that hard (I believe).

The build uses springs to create the recoil needed on a piano key, and pressing one of these keys lifts an arm that blocks the Infrared Sensor at a certain distance.You can extend the piano by replicating more keys. The legs are designed to dig into carpet to not make the piano skid around. But this is only the piano part. The programmable brick has its own housing with an extra-long cable connecting it to the sensor. It comes with a motor that can be used to keep the tempo. Useful! There is also a button and the controller that could be programmed for lots of functions. Here are a few:

Instrument changer

Pitch/Octave shifter

Record/Playback

And so much more!

Have fun looking at this everyone! Hope you enjoy!
