018. - Bjork.

Some time ago Matt told me about a Bjork's videoclip I should look at. Firstly I thought he meant 'Earth Intruders', but now, accidentaly I found out how wrong was I then.
It's called 'All Is Full Of Love' and, indeed, it is a good reference on robotic engineering.

014. - Tom & Jerry

Tom & Jerry: Design on Tom features a brilliant, clever humour, where main characters' counterparts drawn on a blueprint come to live and the farce begins: a blueprint Jerry comes off a scetch to warn Jerry about the machine Tom is planning to create. They change the parameters of it what results in trap hitting Tom and Jerry getting off with a piece of cheese.

013. - Aphex Twin.

Ajdin just phoned me, telling to look at videos by Aphex Twin, as it may be good reference. In other words - he'd like the video to have that aphenixtwinesque look in it. As I am not a big fan of this artist, decided to have another look at him in the most obvious of places - youtube.
Here's the impression.

We're charging our battery
And now we're full of energy
We're functioning automatic
And we are dancing mechanic
Ja tvoi sluga, (I'm your servant.)
ja tvoi Rabotnik (I'm your worker.)
We are programmed just to do
Anything you want us to.

011. - Nine Inch Nails.

010. - Robot Football World Cup.

about robotic football.
everyone who has seen "Terminator" or "Transformers" knows, that a take over of the world by robots is just a matter of time. I don't know a date, or time, but I know how the machines train before the last battle against the humanity - they play football.
Few weeks ago an event called "Robot Athletic Meet 2007" took place in Tokyo, Japan, where the best mechanical sportsmen from all over the world decided to run after a common football.

check a video for some reference on how the 'real' robot moves.
