I need to lay my hands on this little chap. He rolls around making beats, sampling himself and doing it again. He gets robot of the month award for sure.
What it does? Basically:
* Navigate around, collect some data, avoid obstacles, until it
* Finds something "worth playing on" (a single isolated object or a wide flat surface that it can find an angle onto)
* Snakes into place
* Plays some beats on what it have found, and samples this, checking it has a "good sound"
* Based on data collected in the area, and sample just made, then compose a little rhythm, and plays this along with the sample
