- Here's what I came up with…as a solution for our challenge.…I've got our robot moving in multiple directions,…and repeating a number of times.…So let's take a look at the CSS behind my solution.…First of all, I added some keyframes,…adding a 20%, 35%, and 90% keyframe…to make my robot kind of move back and forth…a little bit, before it moved all the way across the screen,…and then stutter back and forth a bit more,…to kind of give it that indecisive robot feel.…I changed my animation iteration count to four,…so it repeats four times,…and I also have my animation direction alternating,…so we get a bit of back and forth,…and the two ends stuttering back and forth…kind of meet up together.…
I also used a custom cubic bezier function…for the timing function.…I picked something a little bit similar to ease it out,…but just a little bit flatter,…since there's so much moving going on with our robot,…I didn't want the easing to be too distracting.…Hopefully, you came up with something similar…for your solution.…There's no single right answer for this challenge,…
