His BeetBox turns six of its namesake root vegetables into drum pads through SparkFun (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SparkFun/) capacitive touch sensors, all of which are controlled by (what else?) a Raspberry Pi (http://www.engadget.com/tag/RaspberryPi/). Cleverness goes beyond the core technology and food jokes, as well. All of the circuitry and audio equipment is hidden within the wood box, making it look more like a horticultural project than machinery. We don't mind the lack of production plans when there's source code available; we're mostly curious as to what in our garden (http://www.engadget.com/tag/garden/) would make for a good rhythm section.
