Penguin Robot Happy Feet Code

Humanoido

Hello, Fellow Penguin Robot Enthusiasts,

Here's a posting of the Happy Feet Dance code.
It's the same code used to make the video.

Be sure to review the program comments for
lots of good information about Penguin and
the program. Penguin needs a nice smooth
surface for good dancing and calibration.

If you haven't seen the video, follow these links:

The video was made entirely from this program
and three Penguin dancers - blue, black, and
nickel. I'd say they all performed like a charm!

Let me know if you're interested in seeing more
Penguin robot programs. Thanks!

Got the code. Looks beautiful. Killer comments and a fantastic example of abstraction. This is very educational.
Thanks!

Attached is a different choreography of Humanoido's original. Playing with it got me BEGGING for more memory for code. The limit of 20+ steps is frustrating. BUT, I don't see a lot of room to make the existing Humanoido code more compact. You should have left some chaff/fluff/crumbs/inefficient_code for us so we could sqeeze out another move or two!

Now I am thinking I need to use RF to drive the little bird so I can send a stream of dance moves to him/her/it. I got a cool PS2 RF game controller setup with a TEC-1 (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/hotproceed/mainB.htm&langpair=ja|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8)... That unit is a bit heavy for the little bird, though. And the code to read the serial port would be a bit of a challenge, as it is setup to feed the Kyosho/Kondo RCB-3 controller.

Any ideas on RF?
