MAGIROBOTICS CLUB ROBO DANCE OFF AND... oh...

magirobotics club robo dance off

what's up?

Dr. Ranui wants some good, clean fun. No mayhem, no sentient robots who need to be put down, no setting the entire shed on fire: tonight, Magirobotics Club gets to show off their little mechanical friends without fearing for the safety of everyone around them!

For most of the month, the club has been focusing on movement and getting their robots to obey commands both simple and complex, and preferably to a beat. There’s already music playing when the members filter into the Artificing Shed tonight, and Dr. Ranui greets them from the middle of a miniature disco dance floor, where he and his own boogiebot, Beatbot, are warming up. He shows off how Beatbot can play just about any song you can imagine while simultaneously busting some sick moves, but the four freshmen recruited to judge the contest give him straight 1s. He sputters and sparks a little at the low score, but otherwise keeps right on playing. What a good omen!

how this works!

⬥ Magirobotics Club students can check using the form under the DANCE-OFF header. A panel of four freshmen judges will score their bot's boogieing! We'll announce a winner later.

⬥ Students who are not magirobotics club members are welcome to come watch, but only Magirobotics Club members may enter the contest. Artificing students, in particular, were made aware that the contest would be happening.

⬥ Oh...and...I guess something happened... Maybe you should go check out that header to find out...

locations!

⬦ DANCE-OFF: It's time to break it down, bots! Magirobotics Club members, post your forms here!

⬦ THE ARTIFICING SHED: The shed's been cleared of its usual clutter. In the very center of the room a tiny wooden dance floor has been set up. A panel of freshmen judges sits to one side, and on the other, there's room for the audience to watch. Dr. Ranui stands with his wand at the ready, in case any fires need to be put out. Want to thread hyping your bots up before their debut? Or maybe you're part of the peanut gallery watching the display? You can thread about it here!

⬦ FATAL EXCEPTION ERROR: SOMETHING WENT WRONG...: Oh—oh no...

⬦ OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

DANCE-OFF: Eddy & Mickey II

[quidditched]

Name: Eddy Waxweiler
Robot: Mickey ...... II
Music Selection: Oh, music. My forever nemesis. A quick and anxious Google search landed me on this which feels appropriate for the day!
How’d They Dance?: A very ambitious attempt at breakdancing was made, considering we'd only made it to head bobbing a couple weeks ago. There's also an arabesque here and a pirouette there, because Eddy's 100% trusting in Chanel's knowledge of All Things Dance. So. Maybe the genres mix somehow. The mousebot seems to spin well. Like, really really well. Maybe a little too well. Yikes.
Anything else?: Oh. Well. This exists.

DANCE-OFF SCORE: Eddy & Mickey II

[peckishmods]

Mickey II causes quite a stir with judges Darby, Duncan, Delia and Dru, and it's hard to tell if that's a good thing at first. Is freshmen attention ever a good thing?

Darby thanks Eddy for his appropriate music selection, and gives Mickey II a whopping 10. Suck it, Ska Boy.
Duncan calls Mickey II an inspiration, and fawns over his "commitment to trying new things." He also gives Mickey II a 10.
Delia is still chanting for Mickey II to keep spinning, but deducts a point for lack of head bobbing. She's here for the head bobbing. Still, she gives him a 9.
Dru still can't find her cards, but she draws a smiley face next to the 4.
