Hi there,
Forgive me if this is not the right forum to ask this question. But I am actually looking to have a reasonably simple robot created on commission. The robot essentially just needs to be able to play a drumstick at a given velocity, a given amount of times - with a given amount of seconds between each hit. The robot cannot make any noises while hitting, since it is intended for scientific recording purposes, so in essence it needs to be almost silent.
Let me know if you are interested in building this and send me PM. I will gladly pay whatever it takes to have this built.
Thank you.
I have no business even considering try this, but,
I would imagine a 555 or a 556 controlling a servo in a sound proof enclosure connected to a drumstick that is on a pivot should just about accomplish what you are asking.
