PianoMotion
This is a small musical art vehicle (2' X 11') with electronic fly-by-wire steering. It features a piano keyboard and sound system built into the body of the vehicle. Fly-by-wire steering allows the driver to simultaneously steer the vehicle and play the piano with both hands. It has a 12-channel custom MIDI lighting system, modular body-frame "skateboard" design, novel LED lighting, and a clean air system to protect the electronics from dust.

Electronics hardware designer and piano player. I built the PianoMotion vehicle in the summer of 2002 to realize a childhood dream of making a musical keyboard instrument that I could drive and play at the same time. Watch a video of it in action at:
