The Mob controller is a device created to add functionalities to the Robe RoboSpot system, it’s basically two buttons that hang on the handlebars, and those buttons are connected to the controller who is sending Art-Net signals to a lighting desk to triggers sequences.
Initialy it was build for a show with three RoboSpot system with four spots on each around a circular stage, and we wanted to allow each operator to select which spot is on depending of the artists location on the stage, so I develop this system to trigger spots dimmer with fades in/out directly in the lighting desk.
When the artist move clockwise, the operator push the right button, and then the next spot in this direction is turned on and the last one is is turned off.
When he move on the other direction, the operator push the left button.
The operator can also push both buttons to turn on all spots.
This is just an example, the controller can be used in many use cases to control whatever you want.
