Stickboy's creator is Frank Barnes from German robotics company "Robocross". Four hands of the robot, its two legs and its Mohawk head are driven by a pneumatic system using compressed air. According to available information, now Stickboy robot can drum 8 different melodies, among them there are such well-known tunes, as TNT by AC/DC, Bullet in the Head by Rage Against the Machine and others.
