Amateurs Build Push-up Piano Player on TV Show
By Wallace Venable

Melvyn Wright (the extraordinary Noteur Britannique) posted a link to an
old BBC program from 1985, "The Great Egg Race," with Prof. Heinz Wolf,
on the Mechanical Organs Forum: http://mechanicalorgans.freeforums.org/ 

Three teams try to create a robotic pianist (push up player) that is
capable of playing a tune.  The program also includes a demonstration
of a Pianocorder half way through.

I thought the link was worth sharing here.
