The final challenge for this page is to create an entertaining and interesting dance routine.
If you accept this challenge, your routine should…
- consist of a number of obviously different dance patterns.
- use two different kinds of Loops (or, if you’re really keen, all three that you’ve looked at: forever, time, count
To complete this challenge and unlock the next challenge: post a journal entry including…
- a description of your dance routine
- a screenshot of your program (or attached a zipped *.rbt file)
- a video of your robot doing its dance!
Some tips about video
- Please record your video as either an *.mp4 (e.g. using an Android phone) or *.mov (e.g. using an iPhone/iPod).
- Avoid *.avi if possible, because avi files need to be downloaded completely before playing back so mp4 and mov are better for streaming.
- The maximum size for uploads onto this site is 19MB, so you need to keep your video short and record it in a fairly low resolution. Generally speaking, video recorded on a phone or a stil camera should be fine, but you might need to experiment a bit with this.
Next: RoboPets!
hey rob today we downloded a few different dances but haven’t decided on one for the great dance off just yet. We will hopefully send you a video of our dance when we have finished recording our dance.
p.s quick question, how do you record sound for your robot.
thanks!!!
It is possible to create your own sound files, but it’s a little fiddly. I created a set of instructions here… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMuD7mF59TQ
