S2 Precision Dance Team

The S2 Dancers marveled the crowds when they showed up today at the Medina County Fair on the Square.

First they did their (mostly) synchronized Inline Hokey Pokey.

Then, they moved on to the more difficult Circular Hokey Pokey.

Remember, they ARE available for weddings and well......weddings 'cause I really don't know where else you could get away with doing this dance.

This guy was a hit too! The sound was kinda loud with a Country Western DJ but he did let me play the robot's speech through his sound system once which really put the Veho speaker to shame!!

Hopefully, we sparked SOME interest in the 4-H Robotics Program. If not, I still had fun!!

    I'd be remiss if I didn't give Jessica credit for her Hokey Pokey program and Ken credit for his contribution of 2 S2's to the Medina County 4-H dance team! It just wouldn't have been the same with only 2 robots.

    Great pleasure can come from even the most mundane activity if you use the finest products

    Rick, those videos were amazing, thank you for sharing!

    I think these robots could be a hit at children's parties too. ;)

    Thanks!

    Everything they know about the Hokey Pokey, they owe to you!!! (How's that for a legacy!!! :smile: )

    I was going to have them wander around looking for donations but I'd need erco's flamebot for protection.

    Hmmm. A troupe of flame-throwing robots.

    Don't EVEN tempt me.

    I'm warning you, I'll do it with any encouragement at all!

    I wonder what TSA would say about travelling with Team Firebot.

    Does this count as encouragement?

    I was thinking more along the lines of something practical...like a s'more making robot. S'morebot for the Scout badges.

    Of course, Team Firebot has a certain appeal!
