Dance Hexapods Dance!

[roseembolism]

I've been in a complete creative funk this week, unable to even do a simple livejournal post. Bleaugh. Yukky situation all around.

So when I'm just sitting at the computer, staring with vacent depression at the screen, there's only one thing to do:

It's the Hexapod Dance Competition, as part of a graduate robotics study course in Hagenberg Germany. And watching it immediately cheers myself up.

And now I want to put hexapod critters in all my games, just for th sheer fun of it.

That's wonderfully adorable. Of course, whenever I see something like that, I wonder what it will look like in a decade, I'm betting the result will be fairly awe-inspiring from both hardware and software perspectives. I wonder when hexapod household robots will start being used.

This is what I based my Bliss Stage robot on, but in git-r-done Bob the Builder safety yellow and "caution" black and white stripes.

But did your robot have a bumblebee head, or a "Toy Story broken doll" head?

I sense... no life. These people HAVE NO LIFE!

These are computer engineers! They have no life! But I repeat myself.
