What's Cooking? Potbot.

Study for 2 Motors, 2 Solenoids, & a Cooking Pot

Made by Steve Chab

Potbot is a percussion instrument robot invented by Zhiwan Cheung, Steve Chab, Mutian Fu, and Jack Taylor. Two motors and two solenoids placed inside a cooking pot (on the bottom, sides, and lid) produced a variety of crazy pitches. It sounds like a sick lawnmower.

We built the instrument together. Zhiwan was able to connect MIDI and a drum pad to the pot using Maxuino. Steve made the final composition in Ableton Live.
