P-Bot 5000 is a self contained musician robot. He can sing, speak and
groan only as a robot could.
He is battery powered, and generates sound from his mouth speaker. he
is not very mobile, though
as he was decapitated by a surplus pirate who used his body for scrap
metal. Now his only raison d'etre is to
sing.
PBot's vocal circuitry is driven by the "Speakjet" chip. He can receive
commands via a serial port
or through gentle manipulation of his buttons (computer control is
optional). Sound is generated in
P-Bot's circuits by 5 oscillators, noise generators, and filters to
create beautiful robotic song.
