R/C Car + Beer Bottles = Super Mario Brothers

by John P.

RC Car Plays Super Mario Brothers ThemeEvery once in a while I come across a video that you just know took a lot of time to actually set up and produce, like all those Rube Goldeberg videos I post all the time. Well, here is another one along the same lines.

These guys in Japan took what looks to be a bunch of beer or wine bottles, and filled them with different amounts of fluid to create a different pitch when tapped. They then spaced them out properly, attached a couple of mallets to a radio controlled car, and voila! You drive the car between the bottles and get the theme song from Super Mario Brothers!

Amazing.

RC cars are so cool. I love the Ferrari RC, works so cool. BTW the idea is so cool. Why don’t I use it to but replace the bottles with coke cans.

Oh man…can you imagine the determination and time that was needed to set that up. And the controller would have needed to drive it at a certain speed to get the rhythm correct. Brilliant!

This is unbelievable.This requires a lot of time & skill to do.The speed of car,controls & the distance of bottles is the key.

This is soooo creative of these guys. The way these guys do it is by using a certain amount of fluid in each bottle. What gets me is the time it took to do this. If i was them i would label each bottle 1 through 50 in order. That’s too much work to just throw it away.
