What does Mars look like? How to carry out rescue on Mars?
On July 18th, the "Chongqing Youth Intelligent Robot Programming Competition" was co-sponsored by the Propaganda Department of chongqing Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Civilization Office, the Youth League Municipal Committee, the Municipal Education Commission, the Municipal Cultural and Tourism Commission, and the Municipal Committee of Young Workers, and co-organized by Dream Morning Technology and Craite Culture. Outstanding primary and secondary school students from 85 schools in the city competed in the brain hole on the spot, assembling robots and programming on the spot to complete the "Mars Rescue".
The theme of this competition is to simulate mars landing, Mars exploration and Mars base construction and Mars rescue and other challenging competition projects, contestants to design and build their own robots, write robot operating programs, on-site debugging and operation of robots, in the specified time to complete the competition tasks.
The reporter saw at the scene that the contestants were in groups of 5, methodically assembling and building the robot, programming and designing, and participating in the on-site competition. Various robots automatically advance, turn, climb over obstacles, collect energy blocks, and complete tasks according to instructions in the competition field.
"Each group of contestants needs to build five robots, and use two robots to rescue the other two damaged robots through sensors or other means." Ao Feihu, the chief judge of the competition, said that the robot must drive according to the prescribed route and bypass the obstacles, while collecting energy blocks to return to the base camp location to prepare for mars development. In the competition, the robot sends the energy block back by pushing, and the score is 1, if the energy block is clipped up and brought back on the robot's back with a robotic arm, the score is 1.5. "It's difficult for children to design both the robot's chassis, the program and the robotic arm."
Participating in this competition requires children to master the basic knowledge of robots, mechanical structure, mechanical arm design, programming and other related knowledge, which is conducive to cultivating children's interest in robot programming.
The youngest contestant on the scene is Chen Xingcheng, a first-grade student of Bashu Ivy League Primary School, who is only 6 and a half years old. At the scene of the game, he held a remote control and commanded the robot to push the energy block, very focused. "I think it's fun, I'll be back later."
Lin Tongyu, a 6th grade student at Datong Road Experimental Primary School in Yuzhong District, has been learning programming for 6 years and has loved robot programming since he was a child. At the scene of the competition, the mechanical arm designed by him and his friends quickly clipped the energy block, put it on the robot's back, and quickly completed the rescue plan. "It's interesting, I want to work on programming in the future." Lin Tongyu said.
