Plane Honest Merchant

In mid-May, University A received an invitation letter from the Competition Committee to each participating team. University A submitted an application to the competition committee at the beginning of the semester, and now the invitation letter it receives is to inform each school of the time and place of the competition.

The time is set at the end of May, and two weeks will be reserved for each school to prepare. The venue will be held at the National Stadium in City A.According to internal information obtained from University A, this year there will be 5 universities from all over the country participating.Last year there were 32 colleges and universities, and this year there are 28 more, and the competition is more intense.

Every year the competition will release a new theme, the theme proposed by the competition committee, some of the theme has a moral, some of it is interesting.For example, the theme of the competition in 09 was "Victory Drum Music - Leading to a Society of Cooperation between Humans and Robots", which aimed to develop rescue robots. In 12, the international competition was held in Hong Kong, and the theme of the competition was Hong Kong folklore "Scrambling Bun Mountain". , that is, the robot picks up the object.

This year's international competition is held in Tokyo. The theme of the competition proposed by the competition committee is "My Robot Partner", which proposes an intelligent robot that can communicate with humans.As for what kind of robot to make and how to express the theme, it is up to each participating team to solve it.

In fact, it is best to bring out No. [-] with this theme, but considering No. [-]'s character, I don't know what it will look like when it jumps under the spotlight, and what will happen.Su Zhuo still prefers to let the obedient tiger robot participate in the competition. This was originally his plan at the beginning, not to mention that the entire ROBOCON preparation team has worked hard for so many days and cannot live up to the fruits of everyone's labor.

But now it's just a domestic trial, and there's no need to dispatch tiger robots.

By May 5th, all colleges and universities had arrived in City A and stayed in the hotel arranged by the competition committee, which was located next to the National Stadium, which was convenient for students to participate in the competition. The ROBOCON preparation team also stayed in the hotel for the convenience of the competition.The competition committee allows only 30 participants including instructors, and the excess number is arranged by each school.

Professor Zeng and Professor Shan were too old and physically exhausted, so they handed over the 9-person team including Su Zhuo to Professor Zhang, who still lived in the school and rushed to the field when needed.The other team members also stayed at the school and came to gather again during the game.But the number of participants is limited, and they probably can only be cheerleaders on the sidelines.

On June 6, the domestic trials of the Asia-Pacific College Student Robot Contest officially started. Of the 1 participating colleges and universities, only 32 colleges and universities can finally enter the semi-finals, and then these 16 colleges and universities will decide the final winner to participate in the international competition.The game plan takes 16 days. The goal of the preliminary round on the first day is to cut down 5 colleges and universities, and the next four days will be the championship competition, so the competition on the first day is the most intense.

The topic of the preliminary competition was notified one day in advance, and the theme was still "My Robot Partner", without any designation, how to understand and perform it depends on each school, anyway, this is a one-time competition, if you lose, you will be eliminated immediately.

"Usually, isn't the theme of the competition based on local folk customs? It was obvious that last year's preliminary competition had a different theme. Why is it the same theme this year? The competition committee is too lazy!"

Professor Zhang came back with the notice after the meeting. Luo Yi immediately lay down on the bed and howled. "We can't use our trump card right now!"

"Don't worry, other schools are the same." Xiang Feiyu said.

"Get up and sit down." Professor Zhang said majestically, seeing that all the students were sitting upright, he said, "We only have one day to prepare, what ideas do you have on how to express the theme of "My Robot Partner"? "

Everyone buried their heads in deep thought, and Su Zhuo lowered his head to think seriously, but he was not good at other aspects, and it was his first time participating in the competition, so he couldn't think of how to express the theme at all.

"How about dancing?" Qi Huarui first asked after ten minutes. "Humans and robots dance together. The dance is choreographed by our group. Basically, everyone knows how to do it. One day's practice is enough."

"Although it is very interesting, it is too common." Xiang Feiyu said: "I guess many schools will choose this competition method."

Everyone thought about it, and nodded in unison. This is indeed the most likely content of the competition.Professor Zhang looked at Xiang Feiyu expectantly: "Xiang Feiyu, do you have any ideas?"

Xiang Tianfei thought about it for a while, and said, "Don't we have a rescue robot? Making a plot where a robot rescues an injured human not only shows technology, but also the theme is full of love and justice. The judges should like it, right?"

"Rescue robots have a special system for the competition. If we want to change it, we have to redesign it." Xie Xiang, the leader of the rescue robot team, said: "And to achieve results from rescue, the plot design must be very complicated. I'm afraid it will be too late in one day."

Professor Zhang nodded: "It's really too late." After finishing speaking, he adjusted his glasses and looked at Su Zhuo opposite: "Su Zhuo, what's your idea?"

"Huh? Me?" Su Zhuo was listening to everyone's opinions, but when he was asked suddenly, he blinked in surprise.

"By the way, Su Zhuo, you know robots so well, do you have any good ideas?" He Qingyu asked expectantly, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

Probably because Su Zhuo is too powerful at work, everyone is used to listening to his orders, and now Su Zhuo is an omnipotent genius in the eyes of everyone, but everyone will not hesitate to carry out whatever he says, and naturally hope that he Make up your mind at this point.They have the most powerful trump card, and they must not die here.

"I don't know." Su Zhuo said honestly: "I can only be a robot." He can't help with ideas.

"I can only be a robot..." Luo Yi complained: "This is already very strong, okay... That's right!"

After all, he is the leader of the creative strategy team. Luo Yi has a quick mind, and he thought of an idea in an instant. "Su Zhuo, your robot assembly is quick, right?"

"Yeah." Su Zhuo nodded suspiciously: "It's fast to make a small machine."

"It's very fast." Qi Huarui nodded.

"And the expressions and movements of the robot are super handsome." He Qingyu added.

Everyone collectively looked at Luo Yi who was eager to try: "Why, what's your idea?"

"If possible." Luo Yi clenched his fist excitedly: "I have an awesome idea."

No matter how lazy the competition committee is, on May 5, all colleges and universities gathered in hotel rooms to rehearse the story of human and robot partners.At the opening ceremony on the morning of June 31, the advisors of the colleges and universities submitted their preliminary performance proposals to the judges.

Among the 32 colleges and universities, 5 schools have chosen to dance between humans and robots. Although these schools will not tell the content of their competition, they can guess what they are going to do just by looking at their robots.In addition to robot dancing, there also seems to be the rescue robot competition mentioned earlier, as well as football robots, and some robots with special styles. Seeing the bloodshot eyes of those students, it seems that they were rushed to make overnight.

The ROBOCON preparation team is interested in observing others, but they don't know that they are the most eye-catching contestants.The competition has not yet started, and the contestants are rushing to debug the robot and set up the scene. Only the students of University A, with a childish-looking first-year student as the captain, don’t even have the most important robot. Prepare.

Everyone has seen what they brought. The two cartons are full of robot accessories, but there is no complete robot.They are the famous A University in the whole country, and they are strong opponents in the competition for the championship. Now, do they want to abstain or what?

No matter how you guessed it, the game started on time at 9:00.The game arrangement has been announced before, lots are drawn, each school will play against each other in pairs, and the winning side will participate in tomorrow's rematch.In order to speed up the progress of the competition, a total of eight venues were divided into four groups for each competition.After the start of the competition, there are only 10 minutes for the students to set up the scene and 1 minute to debug the robot.

The ranking of University A is in the second competition. The opponent is Nancheng University of Science and Technology. Their performance is a dancing robot.Of course, Nancheng University of Science and Technology also wanted to inquire about the competition content of University A, but looking at the two boxes of spare parts, it was really impossible to guess how University A planned to compete. University A doesn't even have a participating robot!

Game time, including field layout, is limited to half an hour.Soon the four groups of colleges and universities took their positions and started the competition.Next to each group stood three judges, followed by TV reporters, commenting on the reporter's interviews from time to time.There are also two professional hosts on the scene, explaining the content and technical content of each group's performance.

The National Gymnasium has a large venue, and students from various colleges and universities are allowed to enter the venue freely with their student ID cards, so many student spectators came.But after all, this is not entertainment, and no noise is allowed. The students watched quietly, and only the cheering teams of participating schools waved flags in the auditorium.

Half an hour later, the four groups of competitions were over, the judges commented and scored, and the venue was soon cleaned up by the staff. The second round, the competition of University A was ready to start.

"Student, what is the content of your competition?"

Qi Huarui, Luo Yi, Fang Fang, He Qingyu and others were all preparing the sets needed for the game on the field, while Su Zhuo and others were checking the tools outside the field.Because today's contestant is him, He Qingyu specially put on light makeup for him, and even chose a bright yellow sweater for him. There are two brown bear ears behind the hat, which looks extremely childish.But after seeing him wear it, Professor Zhang said that it looked younger and more in line with the content of the competition, so Su Zhuo had no choice but to put it on.

He wasn't used to crowds, and even dressed like this, he hid behind them.It's just that everyone is busy preparing for work now, and Su Zhuo, who looks beautiful and wears special clothes, naturally attracts attention.Moreover, the reporter was really curious about the competition events of University A. After all, they didn't even have a robot, and all the boxes were filled with accessories.

Suddenly being interviewed by a reporter, Su Zhuo was stunned for a while, and then said: "You can't say it."

reporter:"……."

"Then you can always talk about what kind of robot to use for the competition, right? I see that you don't seem to have prepared a robot?"

"This is a secret!" Xiang Feiyu walked over and pushed Su Zhuo behind him: "The content of our competition is very special, words cannot describe it, but it will definitely surprise you."

"..." Didn't say anything at all, this is not a stage performance, the students' competition is so surprising.The reporter laughed a few times: "Then I wish you good grades." Turned to interview other schools.

Just when the reporter turned his head and left, University A's rival team, Nancheng University of Science and Technology, had already set up the field to start the game.The content of their competition is that humans and robots dance together. Team members and robots stand in line, and when the intense music starts, they dance exactly the same movements and dance steps.Moreover, it can move its feet and change formations, which is exciting and interesting, which not only expresses the theme of the game, but also reflects the robot's technology.

"Get ready." University A has already set up the playing field, Qi Huarui came out and patted Su Zhuo on the shoulder: "Brother, I'll leave it to you."

"I will work hard." Su Zhuo nodded, walked into the scene arranged as "home", and sat down slowly in a corner.Luo Yi, Qi Huarui and others poured two boxes of accessories into the competition field in a messy manner, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the audience and judges.

The proposal submitted by University A, the content of the competition is: a lonely teenager becomes sunny and cheerful by getting along with robot partners.

The technical content is: robot production.

This kind of unclear content really confuses the judges. The three judges in charge of this group competition have long stood aside to supervise their competition.The dance at Nancheng University of Science and Technology has been dancing for a few minutes, and University A hasn't started yet.Seeing only one player enter the field now, I am puzzled, isn't it made by a robot?There is only one contestant, why are the others watching from the outside?You must know that after the official competition, other people are not allowed to enter again.

But as judges, they cannot give any suggestions to the contestants, so they continued to watch in silence.

Su Zhuo is acting as a lonely teenager, and there is no need to act in this aspect, because he is so introverted that he is almost autistic.The surrounding scenes were arranged in dark tones again, with closed curtains, brown walls, murals covered by shadows, and a black-haired boy sitting quietly in the corner.

Comparing the wonderful and lively dance one meter away, it seems that one is the lively world outside, and the other is the emptiness and desertedness at home.No need for words and explanations, everyone can already see what they want to express.

"What's going on there? Isn't it a robot show? Why is it a pantomime?"

"Hey, that boy is so handsome! Which school is he from?"

"It seems to be from University A. So there are such handsome people who study science and engineering?" Various discussions came from the audience outside the venue.

Su Zhuo leaned against the wall of the scenery board, counting the time silently.He Qingyu said that she should sit quietly for about 2 minutes, first express her artistic conception, and then start the performance.But with Su Zhuo's rigidity, "about 2 minutes" cannot be calculated, so 2 minutes was selected.

"Mu, is it time?"

"Seven seconds left."

When Mu confirmed that it was 2 minutes, Su Zhuo began to perform.

In fact, he has no acting talent at all, and he doesn't want to show his face in front of the audience, but only he can do the content of the preliminary competition, so he has to participate.Fortunately, there are no lines or dances, just ask him to assemble the parts into a robot - Su Zhuo himself understands it this way.

In the eyes of the audience and the judges, the lonely boy stood up slowly, as if he was attracted by the bustle outside, but he was timid.He lingered in the house, still not daring to go out, and finally sat down on the ground full of parts in frustration.The boy picked up one part casually, turned his head to look at it, picked up another one, and assembled them together.

As if he found something interesting, the boy looked for the parts around him and assembled them one by one.Soon, a humanoid robot about 50 centimeters in length was completed in his hands.

The boy put the robot on the ground, and the robot started to move, beckoning to the boy, and backing away. Everyone could see that it was saying: Come here, come here.

The boy shook his head, but remained silent.The robot made a few dancing movements not far away, and waved to the boy again, this time probably saying: Come and play, come and play.

The boy was still shaking his head, and he looked at the robot playing not far away without blinking, but he was still lonely and quiet.

——In fact, after counting for 2 minutes, Su Zhuo stood up, walked around the field, found the parts of the first robot, and then sat down to start assembling.The robot's system and actions were all set yesterday. The actions of the first robot and the actions of the second robot are all specified, so they must be made in order.Only Su Zhuo can tell which robot it is just by looking at the parts.

According to the requirements of the performance, Su Zhuo shook his head at the beckoning robot. After shaking his head twice, he stared at the robot's movements and prepared for the next performance.

In the eyes of the audience, looking at the robot playing alone, the lonely boy lowered his head and picked up a part at his feet.The playing robot saw it, and pushed a part in front of him to the boy's feet.The boy picked up the parts and started assembling again.The robot looked up at the boy, as if full of expectation.

Soon the second humanoid robot was made, and the boy put it on the ground. The two robots glanced at each other, shook hands, hugged, danced together, and waved to the boy.The boy was still shaking his head, and the two robots turned their heads to look left and right, separated, and pushed the next parts to the boy.

——From a technical point of view, the behavior of the robot is set by the system, which is a very simple push action.They don't know whether it's useful or not, they just push everything on the ground to Su Zhuo according to the system settings.

These parts were all disassembled by him yesterday. For the convenience of assembly, they were not disassembled in pieces. They can be installed with simple tools. With a glance or two, he can tell which parts he needs now, and the assembly is very easy. .

But in the eyes of the audience, the intelligence of the robots is terrifying. They seem to know what accessories the boy needs. There are so many parts on the ground, and every time they push over, they are almost exactly what the boy needs.

Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth robots were made. They danced around the boy, and then went to help push the accessories.The eyes of the audience and judges involuntarily turned from the robot back to the boy.

Even if you just disassemble the finished product and then assemble it, there are hundreds of robot parts on the ground. It seems that the boy doesn't need to choose, he just picks up a part from his side and assembles it.

Slowly, there are more than a dozen different types of robots on the ground, including humanoid, universal wheels, and car models, including dancing robots, football robots, rescue robots, and other types of robots.

At this time, the students of Nancheng University of Science and Technology had finished their performance, and the judges could finally concentrate on watching Su Zhuo's competition. Nancheng University of Science and Technology also surrounded them and exclaimed when they saw more than a dozen robots on the ground.

The audience just watched the fun and was purely curious about the live production of robots.They do know how difficult it is to assemble a robot on their own, especially in such a short amount of time.In particular, the assembly of different types of robots is not a technique that can be practiced. It tests the creator's knowledge and understanding of different types of robots.

The teenagers are making them one by one, and more and more robots are playing around him. They lifted the curtains to reveal the bright sunlight (lights), removed the brown wallpaper to reveal the sky-blue walls, and tore off the murals on the black shaded sticker revealing the flowers on the mural.

The whole "home" became warm and bright in an instant. The robots were laughing around the boy like a child. The corners of the boy's mouth slowly curled up. After making the last robot, he stood up and looked at the front with a smile on his face. A shy smile.At that moment, that smile was so bright and touching, as if with some kind of hope.Then, the boy and the robots around him bowed to the auditorium in unison, turned around, and opened the closed door.The robot partners lined up neatly behind him and followed him to the sunny world.

——When the robot was produced in the later stage, the competitions of other groups were basically over, and the judges of several groups gathered around.If it weren't for the regulations, students from other schools would have already surrounded the arena, but now they can only watch from a few meters away and discuss from time to time.Out of the corner of Su Zhuo's eyes, he saw a camera aimed at him, and the process of Su Zhuo assembling the robot was playing on the big screen in the middle of the arena.

The host who gave the special explanation only said: "I don't know what to say anymore, everyone please watch." There was no silence when just playing the production of the robot, because under the zoomed-in camera lens, the assembly action is so fast and concise , without any pause or thought, when the hands stopped, the robot was finished.The audience erupted in bursts of noise and applause.

But for Su Zhuo, even keeping a distance, being stared at by so many eyes still makes him very nervous.The production was getting faster and faster, causing more noise and applause. He even heard the host yelling into the microphone: "So fast, so fast, I saw the shadow of my hand!" This made Su Zhuo even more Nervousness is a vicious circle for him.

"It's time to laugh." Mu reminded.

According to the script, Su Zhuo should smile little by little at this time, and after completing the robot, stand up and show a cheerful smile.But Su Zhuo could only barely raise the corners of his mouth, and after finally assembling the last robot, Su Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Only now did I realize that there were so many people, and the judges could get close to the competition venue, so there were already a dozen judges standing beside him, all of them staring at him, not far away there was a camera facing him and holding a microphone. female reporter.As for the other school members who surrounded the entire arena and the noisy auditorium, Su Zhuo glanced at it and dared not look at it.He was almost stiff with tension.

Mu reminded: "According to the script, you should laugh now."

Su Zhuo could only barely show a smile, and then activated the remote control in his pocket, controlling the robot to leave the arena with him.When walking down the arena ladder, there was endless applause behind him.

The author has something to say: By the way, I have spent a long time and a lot of energy on each chapter. If you want to steal the text, please wait a few days later to steal it!Don't discourage the author too much.

——The dancing robot competition is intended to be written according to the real competition rules, and try to comply with the rules.
