Meet R.I.C.

Robotic
Interface
Coryphee (it means person who performs graceful dance, don't worry I had to look it up too)

R.I.C. is an animatronic performing puppet, basically a robot that can dance "the Robot". It can be sequenced or controlled live by a performer. I admit R.I.C. bears a resemblance to Gyro GearLoose's robot Little Helper.

R.I.C. is named after my good friend Ricardo who is a dancer who tried to teach me "the Robot" once. It didn't go too well.

The music in the video is "I'm Going to Get Me a Robot Man" by Ben Light and his Surf Club Boys. No relation.
