Turn your sound on for this. This is really cool.
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 and 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.

FYI, this video turned out to be an April Fools joke. So please do not waste your time looking for it at the University of Iowa, or the Smithsonian.
