The first video from Nika from the recent MoM Berlin Masterclass. Super super effect from the lovely camera lens. Hire him, he makes stuff look amazing with a camera. 😀
Oh, and I’m in the Video, too.
I bust out after day two of the workshop. MY eyes bug when I watch this, and I was there!
Thanks Nika! I can’t wait to see more videos!
Edit: Drew I added a category, cos Ed was too modest. 😉

Friday Fun : Aldebaran Robotics Nao Robot Show
Cute overdose of dancing robots; a longtime favorite on the M.o.M. blog. I particularly enjoy the ballet choreography.
Happy Friday!
p.s. these little guys also play in the RoboCup
Delta bot is fast – Multiballers soon to be obsolete!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv5B63HeF1EThis Delta Robot by Mimixmotion constructs a 3 layer pyramid and completes the routine with some 2 ball “spin-spin” flowers.
Multiball contact jugglers can soon to retire, while skynet takes over the world of manipulation.
Gotta love your Friday morning robot pR0n!

Mmm… Lovely performance, mixing in loads of animation techniques, and some tight, funky boog.
He’s loving being on that stage, and the audience are loving watching him.
Good show.
LCD – contact juggling & liquid robot dancing
After the silly robot intro, LCD launches into a wicked display of contact juggling isolations. To quote Su-nami from www.contactjuggling.org
How is it when you Isolate an acrylic it looks like an incredibly intricate dance form and when i isolate an acrylic it looks like, well, someone isolating an acrylic?
LCD (aka Liquid Crystal Display aka ‘elsie-dee’ aka Nika aka Nick) and Matt Hennem have been obsessing for a decade now about the fine details of moving a ball from point ‘A’ to point ‘B.’
