This is the most amazing bit of video! Just think about writing a program to get that 50lb+ whatever pound of hardware to jump into the air, landing on those little feet, all choreographed to the music… It’s not statics friends, it’s definitely dynamics at play… Incredible… Happy new year everyone!
