We’ve prepared for the Robocon 2009 for almost ten months. In the rehearsal yesterday, we were the best team as well as the first team to hit those victory drums. It was really exhilarating for us to beat other universities especially UST. Even we never dream about the champion after watched the video of China team, we meant to attend the Robocon 2009 Tokyo.
Similar to last year, PolyU team likely became the most favorite team and everyone admired the outlook of those robots. During the contest, the situation was exactly the same as rehearsal that we was the first team to hit the victory drums in first round. Nevertheless, HKU team improved their boarding task within a midnight and travelled to the goal area with a very stable performance. Eventually, we got the 2nd Runner-up and the Best Artistic Design Award. It was a little bit disappointing to me that we couldn’t achieve our best time as same as the testing in Big Car Room. However, we already performed our best during the contest. I was totally satisfied the result. Well done, PolyUltima!!
For me, Robocon is absolutely a remarkable experience. I remember that I claimed to win the champion for PolyU in Science Park last year. Thus, I paid all my effort to enhance the performance of the manual robot. Finally I realized that changing things wasn’t easy no matter how strong passionate I have. Even if I spent all the time staying in Big Car Room, the situation was still unchanged. I was nobody.
Travel Together for the Victory Drums is the theme in this year. “Together” is the key point for the champion. It depends everything! Honestly, our team spirit wasn’t too weak but the communication. Sometimes we couldn’t express our feeling directly even hiding the truth. Anyway I pretty enjoyed to work with my team mates. They gave a great deal of happiness and supports to me. Thank all of them.
Robocon is also an excellent opportunity to exchange robotic knowledge between each universities. I feel really glad to be friends with HKU students. It’s a precious moment when we were sharing things in the end of the contest. Moreover, I admire the team spirit of CUHK because they all enjoyed the contest with exhilaration. Although I treat UST as my foe, I was kinda frustrated if I were their side.
Finally, Robocon was end. I got everything I wanted. Thanks God! Robocon is absolutely a huge thing in my life. I made it.
