Each team of students found inspiration on everyday things to build a robot that would work sync with others as a musical band.Each robot plays an instrument just as a band would do, percussions, marimba, bass guitar and a synth. The song that this Voltron-like robot plays is named La Sampuesana, the first Cumbia song played in México.
