Well, I was wrong about that. We ended with Sun Ra's version of Pink Elephants on Parade. I had become familiar with the Arkestra's version of the track from the Stay Awake album, see below, and had concluded that this was a freakier version of a Fantasia classic. Accordingly, I downloaded it as an alternative to the Lion King tracks repeatedly requested by a 2 year-old friend of mine. Turns out the song animates Dumbo's psychedelic reaction to alcohol.

Robot News is just a sample of the fun things one can do with what is now readily available tech. I await the fully interactive light sabre duel bots, but this is a start!
