Poetry Corner

Welcome to poetry corner.

I wanted to start this to have a light hearted thread on the forum, and have a bit of fun. The idea is that any of you guys who have robots that can talk, you can teach your robot a poem, rhyme or limerick (a clean one of course) that can be about anything you like, and post a video for all to see and enjoy.

This is not a competition for finding the best one, and you don't have to be a professional writer or anything. This is just a chance to unleash your creative side, and a chance for others to see and hear your robot do something a little different. The poem/video can be as long or as short as you like, so get creating.

To start off, K-9 is getting the ball rolling, so check out the video and let us know what you think. And if you are EZ Robot staff or a community member, and you listen carefully, you might just hear a rhyme about you:). Unfortunately I couldn't include everyone. That would be a loooong video.

So I hope you take part, and if don't, then I hope you enjoy the video.

Steve G.:D

@Robot-Doc.

Thanks buddy. Very nice of you to say, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.:)

@Jeremie.

No problem at all and I'm pleased you liked the video too. It was fun to do:D. I hope I'm not the only one to post a video and others have a go at it too. I'd love to see what others can come up with.

@Steve.... Absolutely brilliant my friend! .... Kudos. All that work really shows. Unbelievable that 6 months ago you barely knew what a servo was... I am a little miffed that you mentioned me last, though... :P Kidding of course... EZ Robot's concept of allowing the user to be more creative by taking away the complexities of advanced programming shines... DJ, your concept is well represented here...:)

@Richard.

Or you could say I, or should I say K-9, was saving the best till last. :P;)

Joking aside, thanks for what you said. That bought a big smile to my face. It's true what you said though. 6 months ago all I knew was radio controlled, and here I am now planning my next microprocessor robot build. This was my little thank you to all of you who have helped and supported me along the way. As K-9 said, if it wasn't for you guys, things would have turned out very different, and probably not for the better.:)

To everyone else.

I had a couple of additional ideas for this thread you guys might be interested in.

Poem entries don't need to be videos.

I was thinking that anyone who wanted to take part might not want, or not be able to make and post a video. So why not post your poem or rhyme in text format, and add a picture of your robot if you wanted too.

Also, I thought this would be a good place to get a bunch of our robot creations, whether the be revolution or fabricated, together all in one place doing something fun (like the competition threads), with a link to each of your project showcases.

Just an idea.:)

@Steve G Too bad you didn't have this video and K9 ready in time for the X-mas contest... You would have won hands down....:)
