The grand robot competition featured seven different tracks, each meticulously designed to comprehensively assess and showcase participants' knowledge, skills, and innovation in the field of robotics. Hosting such a multi-track competition aims not only to promote the spirit of technological competition but also to provide a platform for demonstrating students' innovative talents and practical abilities. Through such events, it is aimed to ignite students' enthusiasm for science and technology, foster their teamwork spirit, and enhance their problem-solving abilities.

At the same time, the competition plays a vital role in promoting academic atmosphere and fostering good study habits.

The competition encourages senior students to take on significant roles, not only to demonstrate their own strengths but also to serve as role models for junior students, encouraging them to participate in the wave of technological innovation. Through the guidance and demonstration of senior students, it effectively promotes the learning interest and competition ability of junior students, thereby fostering a positive, mutually supportive learning and competition environment within the entire college.

Participants in each track proceeded to their designated locations to begin the competition. Competitions in various categories were held simultaneously. During the competition, the robots demonstrated outstanding performance and operational precision, fully reflecting the excellent abilities of the students in mechanical design, programming, and teamwork. Throughout the event, the dean and leaders visited the works of outstanding students, engaging in in-depth communication and interaction with them.
