DanceThe Dance challenge allows teams to create a 1 to 2-minute stage performance using autonomous robots that the team have designed, built and programmed. Teams can choose to create either a Dance or a Theatre performance. 'Dance' is a performance closely synchronized to the music. The robot/s and humans are required to move in time to the beat or rhythm of the music selected, in the same way that a human may listen to the beat of music and dance to it. The Dance assessment focuses on the choreography and movement of robot/s and humans in synchronization to the music. 'Theatre' is a performance in which the robots tell a story or develop a theme supported by music. Theatre assessment is focused on the overall theatrical presentation. The performance will be judged by how effectively the robot/s are used to present a theatrical theme; e.g. nursery rhymes, Star Wars or other movie-inspired presentations, Olympic games, recycling, etc. In order to accommodate different performance types, there are two different performance score sheets. Teams are encouraged to refer to the score sheets when preparing their Dance or Theatre performances. Before a RoboCupJunior event, teams must decide which is the most appropriate performance type so that judges can use the right score sheet to assess the performance. |
