You guys have to see this, it is simply amazing. I was going to post this in today’s gaming news but I just couldn’t wait. Some guy took wine bottles, lined them up and then hit them with an RC car to get them to play the Mario Bros. theme.

Thats the same thing I was thinking. image how long it took them to figure out the exact speed to run the car, the exact placement of each bottle....

I don't think it was as bad as you think. I'm guessing this kid didn't do it all by trial and error. If you get the same bottle you can pretty much figure out what water height will give you certain pitch. If you know the speed of the car, you can then space the bottles at set distances.

However, this guy is prue awesome. Taking RC + Music + games and merging them is true creativity. Props...made props
 
Saw something like this a couple years ago. But doing it with the Mario theme and rc car wins.
 
That was just about the coolest thing ever. I'm curious as to where in the world someone comes up with an idea like this. I mean...how do you conceive the idea? This guy and whoever helped him must have been loaded when this idea was born. This is just crazy cool.

Verrrry Nice!

True, but that still requires work to calculate all that stuff. Plus to learn to drive the car in a straight line long enough to make it through without running over the bottles.
 
Ok, now that was pure genious.

However someone has WAY too much extra time LOL

Looking at it like a giant music box, or music sheet, placement probably wasn't an issue for someone who is a musician. And speed, well, it would just play the song faster.
 
That was great, especially how good the chimes sounded. A perfect playful match for that tune.

I wonder what the security guard is thinking...

You know, I thought the same thing...then I realized, you know...they have probably been setting this thing up (in that garage) off and on for weeks. The other guy probably works for the security company too and this is how they pass time in a parking garage overnight ;)
 
Now I'm depressed, because no matter what I do with my life, I'll never be that awesome.

That took a lot of work, and I'm impressed. :p
 
If feel sooooo untalented!! That took alot of time, I can't even imagine how he began to figure that out!

I bet it was for a school project or something like that, maybe he had to do a report for a music class or something to that effect...
