Wayang Kulit with a twist


Imagine a traditional wayang kulit theatre, drab and unattractive for our generation-Y as generalists categorise our generation. So... my team and I used our slogan "Embracing Yesterday, Defining Tomorrow" and gave a twist to the conventional theaterette..

Now imagine it being modernised, with motorised interchangeable backgrounds and the puppets are fully-automoted robots instead cardbiards controlled by hands. Better? maybe..I hope so. It's still in the process though, right now, all that's left is the programming and adjustments to the background. Not to forget, the competition's in 4(FOUR) DAYS TIMEEE!! D:

As you can see, there are 2 main characters, the hero(small robot) and the mutant(alien).

It's the year 2206, humans have left Earth due to global warming and deactivated their robots before their departure. But now, one has been activated and questions his presence in the world. He encounters with an mutant alien and finds out about who he is and where he is..

Programming's not gonna be as easy as initially thought. To synchronise all the bricks is gonna be quite hard. Although the Batik-Bot programming was quite easy to do, it had only 2 bricks. The new one has 3!! T_T

This new project is simply abbreviated as MIST (Multimedia Integrated Shadow Theatre). The whole thing actually went on better when thought of but that happens all the time anyway.. So for now I can only hope the process goes on well with very minor problems. :)
