Lego NXT Robot Spazzes Out To Music

Warning: video contains loud music and lyrics that include the word “b*tch.”
This video shows a Lego NXT robot, named Lara, dancing to “Smack My B*tch Up” from “Fat Of The Land” by Prodigy, one of the four CDs that I paid retail price for in high school. But I digress.
Lara is running open source music analysis software called Marsyas that she uses to analyze the tempo and patterns in whatever you have playing, and she’ll bust out some moves and dance along. Like human dancers, Lara does her best to avoid crashing into walls, and she’s also able to vary her style based on what color is under her feet wheels. She’s sort of like a Sony Rolly, except open source and not as weird. And she totally has this thing beat, for better or worse.
