This is just Unbelievable - A MUST SEE!! NO KIDDING!! - WATCH THIS!!!

Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch..

This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher
cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the
Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machines
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft , Iowa . Yes, farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration,
and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was WELL worth
the effort.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University
and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

That is pretty slick

Ummm..

You know that's completely CG animated, right??


PBS runs a special with hours of that stuff around the holidays.

It's called Animusic! http://www.animusic.com/previews/animusic1.php

Yeah, it's not genuine, but it is still pretty cool.

Oops - no I didn't know that. My sister sent it to me today and I thought it was really cool.

OK - from now on I do my research!

...but it's still cool!

Ya, I've seen this before, but my kids and I really loved watching it again!
I'm just as facinated as they are.

I find it quite fascinating myself...

I watch it every time it airs.

What it does remind me of is that classic Honda Accord Commercial.
