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, Thanks for the nice comment. I am a great fan of your K9 robot. He has a really cool personality. Your work is outstanding. I definitely plan to build a K9 so I will eventually be asking lots of questions.
Great video Steve G , Your robot just received 10 more cool points for that video! I can't wait to see it moving around.
Here's a little limerick I came up with that might make you giggle.
Enjoy.
K-9 saw an upset Darlek named Paul.
And asked, "Can I help you at all?"
Paul said "I got in a muddle,
and I went through a puddle,
And now I'm only 1 foot tall."
@rgordon.
I hope you do build a K-9, and if and when you need any help or advice, I would be more than willing to help you where I can my friend.
@jstarne-1.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and K-9 says thanks for the cool points. He was pleased about that cool. I don't know if you have seen it, but I did put up a video of him moving around for his first trial run on my showcase, at the end of post #26.
Steve this is so awesome! Again- so impressive!
@Aislinn.
I thought you might like the video. I'm really pleased you liked it, and thanks for your kind words.
Steve, What a gas! I'm jealous of both your poetry skills and the way K9 can recite your work. I cant do either at all.
I love the work you've done with Pandorbots. I truly wish I had that flexibility with my B9 but for the want to have him sound like the original robot I'm stuck with voice files.
Thanks for the mention in the poem. I'm honored. What the heck though? Rich got two stanzas and I only got one? confused
Seriously though, very nice work. Thanks for the entertainment!
@Steve G,
Sorry to go off topic, but I know you are following this thread. If this was in your build video and I missed it, I also apologize. Can you provide info on how you did the synchronized lights in K9's mouth with the voice? You could actually answer in this thread where we are discussing how to do it. https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/5376&page=3
Thanks,
Alan
