Your Robot Drummer can play its beat on surfaces made from many different materials. Each different material will make the Robot
Drummer’s beat sound unique. Fix the Drummer to the material with adhesive tape to make a permanent beatbox. Here are some ideas
to get you started:
1. Put the Robot Drummer on its own box.
2. Put the Robot Drummer on a wooden table.
3. Put the Robot Drummer on a plate.
4. Put the Robot Drummer inside a metal sink.
F. TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the cylinder does not rotate:
• Check that you are using fresh batteries.
• Check that the batteries are inserted the correct way in the battery compartment.
• Check that the wires are correctly connected (Step D5) and are touching the metal terminal.
• Check that the pegs are blocking the rotation of the cylinder.
G. FUN FACTS:
• There is a band from the UK that uses a giant homemade drum kit and junk to perform percussion. They have been performing
worldwide since 2002!
• Drums are the world's oldest instruments, with their basic design remaining the same for a very long time.
• An American named Christopher Anthony played a drum roll for 8 hours, 1 min, 17 seconds at a shopping centre in California, USA, in
2012.
• In the past many machines were controlled in similar way to the Robot Drummer. They used drums with patterns of pins on them or
paper sheets or cards with patterns of holes punched in them.
• More than two hundred years ago, Jacquard looms that wove patterns in cloth were programmed by cards with holes punched in them.
Changing the pattern of holes in the cards changed the pattern in the finished cloth.
• Pianolas were automatic pianos that played tunes that were programmed by a roll of punched paper. Changing the pattern of holes in
the paper made a pianola play a different tune.
• In a music box pins on a turning drum play a tune by plucking small metal teeth that play notes.
• In the nineteenth century mathematician Charles Babbage built a mechanical computer that was programmed to do different
calculations by punched cards.
• Early electronic computers were not programmed on screen as modern computers were. Instead they were programmed by making a
pattern of holes in a long paper tape that was read by the computer.
