This is the biggest day of the competition! 5 crucial matches in a day! We can't wait for today. We woke up at 6.30am and made our way to the competition venue at 7am. We had Macdonald's muffins for breakfast and got ready for the competition.
Learning from yesterday's defeat, we picked ourselves up and make sure we don't make the same mistakes. Our determination paid off. Together with our alliances from different countries, we went on an impressive 4 match winning streak! Not only did we win, our robot control improved in every match. We were ecstatic!
In our fifth match, we faced tough competition from our opponents, incidentally our compatriots from ACSI. It was a close fight and in the end we suffered a narrow defeat. We were quite disappointed. The good news is, despite the defeat, we finished the day with a respectable rank of 26th out of 100 top teams from all over the world. Hurray! End of the day, we were quite satisfied with our performance. Our teachers brought us for a sumptuous Japanese dinner!
Tomorrow will be the finals of the competition. We will do our very best to win the last 2 matches and hopefully finish as one of the eight teams to go into finals. We also hope we can win any of the special awards and do our country and school proud. Time to do some final robot maintainance and get ready for the finals!
Due to connection issues in the hotel, we will upload more photos and videos later. Stay tuned!
