Chapter 93 Programming Contest
"To distract you, let's go participate in this competition! It looks like fun!"
Su Leyun took the poster and looked at it. It turned out to be a robot programming competition held by the school.
As the school with the best teaching level in the region, programming is also one of the compulsory subjects of this school. Although not everyone is proficient in it, everyone has learned it.
In order to showcase the learning outcomes of programming classes, the school holds such fun competitions every once in a while.
Students of the same grade in the school are required to form a team of 1-5 people. No outside help is allowed. Then they are required to design a robot that can perform some specific actions. Finally, they will have a collective demonstration. The team with the highest score will win.
Su Leyun is very good at programming, always ranks among the top, and often receives praise from teachers. This is also an important reason why Tian Tian invited him to join a team.
Su Leyun quickly browsed the content on the poster and was quite interested: "Sure, what do I need to do?"
With Su Leyun's joining, Tian Tian felt reassured.
She silently made a "yes" gesture, and then said attentively: "You don't have to do anything, I will take care of the team members and the venue, you just need to use your brain!"
Behind the two of them, Xu Yan, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, was holding the same poster in his hand. He remembered what his father said to him before he left home in the morning: "This competition is very valuable and will help you apply for foreign universities in the future. You should also participate."
Xu Yan wasn't very interested. He had long discovered that this kind of brain-intensive thing was not suitable for him at all: "Dad, I've been training a lot recently, how about forgetting it this time?"
Father Xu also noticed his lack of enthusiasm and said generously: "It's not for nothing that I let you participate. How about this, if you get a place, I will buy you the limited edition sneakers you wanted before?"
Xu Yan's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I must participate!"
Xu Yan has no shortage of sneakers, but the pair that Xu's father mentioned is hard to find and hard to buy. It's like the Hermes of the sneaker circle. He can't buy it even if he saves up for two years with his usual pocket money. If he can really get it through this game, it would be a real bargain.
Xu Yan had his own plans in mind. He nudged his friend who was sleeping soundly on the table and said, "Hey, do you want to join the competition together?"
The man thought he was still sleepy, so he looked up at the boys lying in the back row, with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you talking about us going to participate in the competition?"
"yes."
The male classmate looked even more incredulous: "Xu Yan, you don't have a fever, do you? This is a robot programming competition! We can't even write the simplest code!"
Those sitting in the back row were students whose grades were not very good and who were talkative. They usually slept and chatted in the back row during class. They made an appointment to go to the e-sports room to play games together after class. This was the first time someone invited them to participate in a competition together.
Xu Yan was confident: "Just promise me, I will take care of the rest."
The male students were still hesitant. After all, being bad at studying without working hard and being bad at studying after working hard are two different concepts. They didn’t want to be a stepping stone for their classmates who won awards.
Xu Yan continued, "Are you willing to be looked down upon by your teachers and classmates? As long as you join me in the competition, I will definitely let you go home with the championship trophy and be proud in front of your parents!"
These words made the students very excited, and they all agreed to join Xu Yan's team. Xu Yan looked at Su Leyun and Tian Tian who were discussing the plan, and a determined smile appeared on his face.
Su Leyun and Tian Tian didn't know that Xu Yan also participated in this competition. A team took advantage of the free time after class and on weekends to create the team's small robot in the school's club activity room.
According to Su Leyun's idea, they designed a robot puppy that, like an ordinary puppy, could understand simple instructions and complete fixed behaviors according to the instructions, which perfectly met the requirements of the competition.
But they were just a group of kids after all, and it was their first time to design something like this, so they inevitably encountered some difficulties in the process. Fortunately, with their concerted efforts, they successfully solved the problems and submitted their work on time. The robot puppy also had its own name: k9.
After several rounds of blind auditions, Su Leyun and his team's work successfully entered the finals.
The day of the finals soon arrived, and everyone in the team was excited, feeling that they were one step closer to the championship.
Because it was a school-themed competition, the final was a grand occasion. Not only did the parents of the participating students come to watch the game, but a group of school leaders also came to the scene. There were even a few reporters from news agencies holding cameras and filming.
While waiting in the backstage, the little kids were looking around, and Tian Tian suddenly saw a familiar figure at the end of the line.
"Hey, it's Xu Yan and the others!" Tian Tian pulled Su Leyun's sleeve, "Why are they here? Doesn't Xu Yan hate programming class the most?"
Su Leyun saw through everything: "Although he doesn't like programming class, he likes other things."
"Ah?" Tian Tian didn't understand, but she didn't ask any further questions. Having been in the same class with Su Leyun for four years, he often said things that she couldn't understand. Tian Tian thought that this must be a little quirk of the top students.
The finals officially began, and everyone drew lots to form groups. Su Leyun stretched out his hand and just happened to draw Xu Yan's team.
Tian Tian and the others were quite happy. After all, they knew Xu Yan's strength, and the most important thing was probably to participate.
The male students in Xu Yan's team seemed to have the same idea as Tian Tian. When they saw that it was Su Leyun's team, they were all worried: "Will our robot be able to do it? The one on the other side is Su Leyun! I just saw their robot dog running behind them. It looks very smart."
"It will definitely work!" Xu Yan was very confident at first, but when he saw K9 standing on its hind legs behind Su Leyun with its front legs making a greeting gesture, he was no longer so sure.
They are all primary school students. The robots designed by other groups are only rough prototypes, and some even look like small toys. Why are the dogs of Su Leyun and his team so powerful?
No, he would never allow his sneakers to leave him! The winner of this game can only be him!
He calmly picked up a bottle of mineral water, and while everyone was concentrating on the game, he pretended to walk casually behind Su Leyun and the others, and then quickly poured half of the bottle of mineral water on K9.
K9 made a short-circuit sound, then fell to the ground and started smoking.
