Kaohsiung recently held a robot competition that featured a number of challenges associated with emergency response to natural disasters. For example, robots were given the task of breaking through barricades and performing other critical functions which tested each team’s creativity and programming ability.
The playing field upon which these robots are competing mimics the scene from a natural disaster. Students are asked to design a robot that can maneuver this dangerous course which includes multiple obstacles. And ultimately, arriving at a designated finish line within a certain amount of time.
The teams of students that are able to complete this task within an allotted time are quite happy, though a few teams are unable to overcome difficult obstacles.
This robot competition is jointly hosted by the Kaohsiung City Government Department of Education and the National Science and Technology Museum along with other groups under the general theme of disaster response.

One goal is how to respond to disasters, and how to prevent disasters as well.
Another part of the competition is moving these building blocks, discovering which team can place the most yellow building blocks into their basket. Another test is this hanging horizontal bar, as the team that works the best together, as well as writes the best program, and achieves the top score is the winner.
Our strategy and preparation before the event was very good so we were able to get the top score.
The top team in this competition also wins the right to represent Taiwan in an international competition in the United States or Australia.
