Under the table is a two-motor robot (the “Sisbot”) that moves a magnet which draws a steel ball through the sand. You can think of Sisyphus as a cross between an Etch A Sketch and Spirograph, except this is no toy. Sisyphus momentarily drowned out the noise and action of the Faire.
Sisyphus is truly mesmerising. We learned this first-hand: at Maker Faire New York earlier this month, it captured the attention of not only the Raspberry Pi crew, but also thousands of attendees throughout the weekend. While it’s a far cry from his arduous task, the Pi has been used to power Bruce Shapiro’s Sisyphus, a continuous and ever-changing kinetic art piece that creates unique design patterns in sand using a small metal ball. It’s just too bad for him that Raspberry Pi wasn’t around to help.
