(Level: Super Beginner) The last video, we learned how to isolate either the head or arms in the robotic style; now, we will begin to use the feet. Again, do not worry what this looks like yet; the focus of this is to get the FEEL of it! The feet in robotics never lift off the floor; have an image of a toy robot that a child would play with that “shuffles” across the floor. There are many ways to use the feet, but in this video we will focus on the most natural way- robotic walking. A good way to start is to walk across the room normally; notice that when your right foot steps out, your left arm swings forward. Now, try to slide your right foot directly in front of you, and bring your left arm forward in whatever way feels natural to you. Make sure that for now the motions are coordinated- when your foot starts moving, your arm starts moving; when your foot stops, your arm stops. Practicing this for just 5 minutes a day will help bring it into your muscle memory.
