I'm really curious about the build of the bot. Are the "fingers" that press the keys pneumatic? I'm about to start an unrelated project but it does need fast responding "pressers", which might be classified as actuators. What are the benefits of using air powered vs electric? Does a bot like this have a huge can of compressed air or need to be hooked up to a pressurized line?
- jackhack 11y agoSeeing those banks of enormous capacitors, I'd say simple solenoids. Pneumatic is one approach. Simple and inexpensive but with a lack of control over actuation speed. It would be expensive, but linear actuators would give incredible speed and precise control over position and velocity.
