RoboCup Dance junior

Introduction

The dance competition follows the RoboCup official rules and consists in the realization of a choreography in which one or more robots "dance" to the rhythm of music, being evaluated by a panel of experts in Robotics and Dance. From the point of view of programming, this competition is very little demanding. Nevertheless, the final result, which is the combination of the movement of the robots with the music along with the imagination that is put on some choreographies, achieves good levels of artistic beauty.

This competition qualifies the Portuguese teams to participate in the world RoboCup Junior Dance.
