12	12	Make preparations to work with the robot and divide tasks, not much more new this week.
13	13	Week 7:
14	14	Work with the robot (Miro) and design the dance partner. Working with the actual robot was very tough. There is a lot you need to be familiar with to actually make the robot do what you want. We think that the robot is mostly for visual purposes and that the voice interaction and music is the backbone of the prototype. Deniz coded the dancing session interaction. In hindsight, I'm not sure why we thought coding Miro is going to be easy. It would make sense that coding and interacting with a robot is hard, otherwise there would have been a lot more of them...

15	15	\\Overall:
16	16	- It made me realize how important it is to first think about why we do something. I knew from other courses where we created human-computer interactions (and from creativity courses) about the importance, but coming up with a new idea on our own (that we all agree with) was way tougher than I expected before this course, probably because I did the why and how separately so far. There is so much to consider when creating an idea, not just the product.
17	17	- Robots seem very easy but are way harder that I thought. Making multiple systems work in unison and coordinate was too hard. I was too much of an idealist and didn't really think this would be a problem until we hit it. Sticking to just the music and selecting voice as a medium for the interactions is (to me at least) the most rational way of testing whether the idea has any chance of being practical.
