Robotic Uprising: The Musical

In the distant future, when our highly intelligent mechanical creations rise up against us, they will do it to the tune of these robots; who have been programmed by unwitting humans to harmonize the soundtrack of our demise. At the end of days, the only sounds that will resonate through the razed streets of our cities will be the constant hum of the robot's gyros and the resonating echo of entire orchestras of these robots playing their victory march in an endless, efficient loop.
Meanwhile, in our present eventuality, the clarinet-playing robot was created by NICTA of Australia; who used it win first place in the recent Artemis Music Orchestra competition (a sort of battle of the robo-bands held in Athens). The guitar-bot was built by TeamDare, who garnered second place for their creation at the same event. Congratulations to NICTA & TeamDare, and good luck to the robots on their future uprisings.
