Robots + Dancing = Awesome.
But is it useful to society in anyway? Maybe the way the Hexapod (six legged) robot moves flexibly and its precision movements could be applied to many fields. Until then we’ll have to be just content with the robots dancing at the third Austrian Hexapod Championship.

That’s really cool.
In the future when they put my brain in a jar I now know what I’ll be traveling around in

Gaw! It’s hard to pick a favorite. They should get rid of american idol and have this instead.
Another great find, Ali!

Thanks Johnny.
If I had to pick a favourite mine would be the one with the bowler hat with his name written on it.

OMG you guys! You gotta watch this synced up with the song “When Love Comes To Town” by U2. This is almost as good as Dark Side of Oz.
Simply start the video and the song at the same time, it meshes perfectly.

Are there vidoes of each robot with its own music? I remember Mambo #5 one.

This video was bizarrely entrancing. It might have been the music, but I was reminded of the large prey hunting spiders who do a dance in front of their prey to mesmorize it.
If you ever see one of these in real life, and you find yourself staring blankly at it, your muscles going soft, it’s probably already too late.

Yah it reminded me of the toy story doll head as well. I’m about to get on all fours and do the hexapod!

And of course with a bowler hat on my back!

I actually just did a Dancing Robots post on my blog a few weeks back, which includes the Hexapod. Also includes 8 others that might be interesting to you guys http://tr.im/1ycl
Let me know what you think!

Is there an official website on the Hexapod Dance Competition in Austria? It is being held each year?
