Close-order drill from hacked Elmobots

Close-order drill from hacked Elmobots:




In this video, an artist skins and skeletonizes a cadre of Elmo robots, installs Arduinos in them, and hacks them to do synchronized maneuvers. Yes, I am well aware that I wrote this into a novel. Dang, I wish they showed more of the bots moving!



Adrianne Wortzel first saw Tickle-Me-Elmo-TMX during her residency in the Artificial Intelligence Lab in Zurich, Switzerland, and noticed something interesting about the robotic toy. It wasn't long before she amassed an army of them. And what army is complete without synchronized maneuvers...
