Touch-sensitive Arduino robot that grooves on command

The Story Behind Otto's Dance Party

It all started on a rainy afternoon when boredom hit hard. The usual coding projects just weren't cutting it, and the thought of another plain old blinking LED felt like a snooze fest. That's when the idea struck: why not create a robot with some serious dance moves?

Meet Otto, the robot with rhythm! But Otto wasn’t always the life of the party. In fact, he started off as a shy little bot, barely moving an inch. With some creative engineering, a few servos, and a touch sensor, Otto was transformed into the ultimate dance machine.

The Transformation

Otto learned to walk with swagger, turn on a dime, and even bust out a moonwalk that would make MJ proud! One tap on his touch sensor and he'd switch up his dance routine like a pro DJ.

Otto’s Big Debut

Otto danced, turned, and moonwalked his way into everyone’s hearts. And just when you thought you’d seen it all, he’d hit you with a custom dance routine and theme music.
