"Robo Spots" remotely operated follow spotlights. Paired up with a operator run conventional spotlight in the arena the robo spot provides backlight or sidelight to the conventionals front light. In the set up shown the operator simply watches his target on the video monitor and keeps the cross hair on their dedicated "target" the guitar player, bass player whatever and follows him by moving the handlebars. In the configuration pictured all functions of the light: colour, iris, intensity, douser, pattern are controlled by the lighting director in the arena at the front of house position. All the operator does in this case is follow the rock star. The system can be configured to allow the operator control of all the above parameters. The system replaces old school truss mounted truss spots where the operator is in the overhead lighting truss over the stage looking down on the stage. A real trip...I did it for years. It's some of the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. My first truss spot gig was a Michael Jackson show at the old Civic Arena in Pittsburgh (IATSE Local 3) the fall of 80 or spring of 81. Thanks for asking.
have fun
