    They are capable of maintaining their center of gravity directly above the ground and ball. Also notice that they don’t lose their balance even when they move their arms. They are capable of performances that last up to about 1 hour within a 4 m to 4 m space. They can definitely continue cheering up until halftime of a soccer match.

    Q&A
    Murata Cheerleaders’ secret

    Q.How come they don’t crash into each other?

    A.

    They are capable of precisely recognizing each other’s location by receiving ultrasonic waves (sound) and infrared rays (light) emitted from the transmitter on the ultrasonic wave microphone and infrared sensor in their heads. This location information is sent to a computer which acts as team coach. Then, by receiving instructions from their coach, they can move around without crashing into each other.

    Q.How are they able to maintain their balance?

    A.

    They do not fall over since the gyro sensors in their bellies measure their tilting, allowing them to shift their bodies in a direction which enable them to maintain their center of gravity directly above the ground and ball. This is the same principle as when balancing umbrellas or sticks on your hand.
