Using the Kinect, two robots are simulaniously controlled to dance.

This is my entry for the freestyle competition at RoboGames 2011.  This dance was also previously performed in Japan.  The Japan performance is in my playlist but on the Robots Dreams channel.  I think I like how this performance turned out better, even though Veltrobot's legs barely held up.

The music was specially prepared by Omega.  The song was originally a bit longer, but I needed a 2 minute remix for contests.  The song is available here: http://soundcloud.com/omegadubstep/painting-the-prototype
