Boy did I need that rest over the weekend! After a busy day Moonwalking, breakdancing and holding some rather tough ballet positions on Friday with the Robocup team, a recovery weekend of battery recharging and silent servos is exactly what I needed.

You should have seen some of the moves Haleem, Jake and Navoda had me doing last Friday. Needless to say, I didn't pick up all the moves straightaway so I did spend a lot of the afternoon getting knocked around a bit. But that's cool, i'm built for that kind of "rough n'tumble". These poly-carbon body parts aren't just for show, if you know what I mean!

This is Haleem programming me to walk backwards. He did a great job. He was really clever. Once he had worked out how to make me step back with one leg all he did was use the copy, paste and mirror tools to make me step back with the other leg. Genius!



This is Jake, the animation guru. I was quite chuffed when he said "It's even better than other animation software I've used. It fills in the gaps for you. You can see what the ED-E is doing which is awesome!"

With the help of Celeste, the school's dance teacher, the team continues to work hard at creating my routine. I can't wait for Friday to see what they have in store for me this week!
