VIDEO: Web-Connected Robot Makes Music with Ping Pong Balls

Absolut Quartet is basically an "automated multi-instrumental orchestral machine, a large-scale electromechanical sculpture consisting of three instruments and thousands of parts, working together to create one piece of music." Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
