That might be the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

God forbid you didn't have the foresight to search for a thread on robots on a bass guitar discussion board, even in the off topic section..

Thanks for posting that link CapeBass! I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise! Scary AI I might add! Creepy..
