For example, in the \u201cRipples\u201d sequence with seven Spots performing a wave-like dance, we used both animation and standard Choreographer workflows. We set the steps and body positions with stock move blocks, but wanted a more fluid effect in the arm motions. Animation allowed us to get precisely the desired arm movement, while the layering framework enabled us to combine the animated arm motion with the stock moves, resulting in the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>With these different design techniques in conjunction with Spot\u2019s built-in athletic intelligence, it\u2019s easy to create dances that look fluid and natural, without overtaxing either your choreographer or your robot.
