Largest Robot Dance


In times were people fancy to shake a leg  on a  good film number or burn the dance floor with a  hip hop or disco we have a set of students who not only learn science but  take science through the dance route as well. These bunch of passionate   students from Simon Fraser University  performed a mechanical boogie  to celebrate the Mechatronics  student  Union .
And doing a robotic dance they ended up breaking   world record as well. The previous world record  for the largest robotic dance was set by united Kingdom  University of Kent   where 276 android wannabes had gathered in 2007. The University of Melbourne could have ruled the roost by taking away the record title but however  were not able to come up with the necessary documents authenticating their achievements.
Graham Hiscocks said that the entire performance was  stellar  as he helped through with organizing the largest robotic dance to celebrate the Mechatronics  Union.
The electrified dance party was held at SFU's Convocation Mall, with enthusiastic participants donning decorated cardboard boxes and other robotic costumes to get into the spirit. 

    Put on by the Faculty of Applied Science Student Societies, the event was to help usher in the new Mechatronix Student Union. 

    It was a chance to blow off a little steam before the pressure of final exams kicks into high gear. It was also a way for the school's students union to welcome its newest member, the Mechatronix Student Union, from the school of applied science.
The Largest Robot Dance counted to  289 and was set by Simon Fraser University at Burnaby, British  Columbia, Canada on April 12, 2010.
