Abstract
We present a novel multi-robot system capable of performing cheerleader dances. Our team of seven robots are constructed from very simple LEGO Mindstorms kits, yet still monitor their own synchronisation automatically in real time. We describe how we use a scripting language to abstract the overall control into a set of higher-order functions, and to produce fault tolerancy. In addition to demonstrating the practical application of focusing on the fundamentals of multi-robot systems, we plan to use our cheerleaders to investigate the research issues that lie at the interface of robotics, external world events, human observers, and entertainment. © 2003 by Springer Science+Business Media New York.
