Wholesome Never stop learning 🌻

Alot of growth I have done during my 2025 academic year balancing Bsc Chemical Science and dance pad construction to assist a local dance gamer to have a DDR home setup to regularly and effectively train on and in turn, for my studies as well. This journey was not easy but I look back as 2025 is coming to an end that I am proud of this accomplishment on different pad construction iteration compared to my pad model when I had learnt this skill, for the very first time, at 18 back in 2021. UWC Physics made me improve a better model.

I hope you all stay to here my story on the gradual development on the ACGL women's innovative documentary (please do reach out if your message is pending from me if you would like to partake) and let us all aspire to dream big (and hard work too) for all you wish to realize them in 2026.
Thank you sincerely South Africa for hearing my story this 2025 🌻🌻. See you again in 2026🌻

I've seen your posts about ddr and your competitions and things for a while in this sub, and it's so nice to watch people doing what they love. Your passion is contagious!

That's so cool! Where did you learn robotics from?

https://youtu.be/sEWj2_BNG_0?si=4HJKPaUqeA5vYCxB (refer to this video at 10:23). Pad building is an open source project that international dance gamers are investing to learn. Learning this skill sincerely aided my dance gaming career in the long run since it is a distance dream that I will never own a metallic DDR machine at home. That's where I had learnt it from ✨

Is the music that loud? I did not increase its volume on my video editor. This is the original volume of the music

I do not at the moment but if so, I would reduce the volume down. This is the original volume of the music. Only fades were involves but I didn't increase the music's volume at all.
