After going through the cutscene, the game officially begins.
There are a total of 48 teams in the Southern Division this time, with nearly 800 college students participating.
In order to increase confrontation and fairness, the Southern Competition also adopts the same competition system as the finals, divided into preliminary rounds and semi-finals.
The preliminary round is a group stage, divided into eight groups from A to H. Six teams in each group compete in a single round robin, and the top two teams in points advance to the semi-finals.
The 16 teams that entered the semi-finals will be divided into groups according to corresponding principles, and will play a best-of-three knockout round to finally determine the division champion.
Of course, the 16 teams that entered the semi-finals will also compete with the other 16 teams in the Northern Division in the same format of the national competition one month later to determine the national champion.
…
"Last year we were in Group A, and we basically went home on the first day."
After the opening ceremony, Li Dongsheng couldn't calm down. He asked Jiang Yongliang, the only smoker in the team, for one. He took Ye Ming and squatted in the corner to smoke.
Ye Ming naturally doesn't smoke, but he can understand Li Dongsheng's mood.
What could be a more public execution than a team that has won zero points for N years in a row and being asked to "introduce themselves" in public?
That's why Li Dongsheng wrote in his introduction in anger, "On the road to winning the championship."
"It's okay. We are in Group F this year. Even if we want to leave, we have to leave tomorrow." Ye Ming joked.
Of course he knows that he is now the core technical "boss" in the team.
So he wasn't panicking at all, at least he had to show that he wasn't panicking.
"I don't plan to leave this year." Li Dongsheng took a long drag on the cigarette, but was immediately choked to tears. He quickly stamped out the cigarette on the ground, wiped his eyes and said, "Damn, I was going to give you a slap."
, I feel embarrassed now."
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Don't laugh, seriously." Li Dongsheng blinked his eyes that turned red in an instant: "Ye Ming, this is the last year that I will participate in the competition, including Lao Jiang, Dong Xuanxuan, and Liu Chao. If we do it again this time
If you can't get results, you won't be able to recruit new people in the second half of the year. Then let alone the school's support, you really won't even be able to get the number of participants."
"If the students of the next few years ask me why there is no RC team in our school - people say it was me, Li Dongsheng, the last captain who failed to lead the team well and disbanded it. Do you think I have any shame?"
"So, Ye Ming, whether it's these days or the future, the team depends entirely on you."
Looking at Li Dongsheng's red eyes, Ye Ming was silent for a moment, didn't say anything more, and just nodded.
Frankly speaking, he has only joined the team for two months. If you say you have a deep relationship with the Provincial Team brand... that must be a lie.
But people are different.
In the past two months, he got along extremely well with everyone in the team, and he also received "unbridled" special care from his two seniors.
These teammates have long pinned their victory on him, so how can he have the nerve to disappoint his teammates?
"Should we test the algorithm again?"
"No, just wait until the game comes on - who is our first opponent? It seems to be Huake?"
"Yes, our group luck is not very good." Li Dongsheng said and took out the match list again.
Group F, Huake, Provincial Communications, Major, Suli, Nanhua, Shangdian.
"Here Huake was the runner-up in last year's Southern Competition, and Shangdian and Jianjia are both regulars in the domestic finals... Well, I won't analyze it anymore, no one is optimistic about us anyway."
"Well, it's okay, then just kill Huake first!"
Ye Ming stood up as he spoke, walked straight to the robot, and then took out the mechanical arm that he had treasured for a long time.
——The spinning bowl of some teams has become popular among all teams overnight.
After all, this thing is super easy to modify. You just need to get a motor, a stick, and weld the bowl on.
In this way, if everyone is cheating, then everyone is fair.
If you can't hit the ball in the bowl, the comparison is the speed of the robot building blocks on the field.
But Ye Ming felt that this was not good.
At least it's not ornamental.
…
"What is about to begin is the first round of Group F. The Huake and Provincial Jiaotong teams are invited to bring their robots to the field. The next game is the major VS Su Ligong. Please prepare both teams."
Following the host's prompts, the robots from Huake and Provincial Communications were in place respectively.
In the stands, Chengli's captain Tang Xiaochuan shook his head slightly.
He has a good personal relationship with Li Dongsheng, a high school classmate. Last time, he even helped Li Dongsheng borrow armor plates from his school's RM team.
"Li Dongsheng is too honest..."
"I don't know how far they can go this time." A team member next to him looked unconcerned: "I heard that their leading teacher didn't come this time."
Someone immediately answered behind him: "Didn't their instructor get angry and leave last year? He definitely won't come this year."
While everyone was chatting, the host's voice sounded again.
"Game start!"
Tang Xiaochuan immediately saw that the red team's Huake and the blue team's Provincial Communications, as well as the R1 pitching robots from the two schools, threw the ball almost at the same time and accurately hit the five-story building block tower on the field.
With two booming sounds, the building block tower fell down.
Tang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up: "Not bad!"
Someone behind him immediately said: "You can't tell anything by hitting the tower, right? It's basically this fast."
"Then you have to see who you compare with. If Jiangsu Province catches up with Huake, then it will be considered very sharp."
"Right."
During the conversation, the R2 building block robots of both parties started at the same time.
On top of the head of the Huake R2 robot, the bowl began to rotate rhythmically.
——If in the first game, the first time they saw this rotating bowl, the audience could still be amazed, then now, after seeing almost every team operating in this way, the audience has long since
Already numb.
On the contrary, it was the provincial R2 robot. The bowl was as stable as if it were welded to it, which aroused the audience's interest.
There are really some people who are not afraid of death.
…
As the two R2 robots approached the base at the same time, the sound of "Hua Ke, come on!" began to sound in the field.
In comparison... the voice of "Come on, Jiaotong University" is too weak.
There were only two girls standing outside shouting vigorously.
Tang Xiaochuan looked at his old classmate and saw that Li Dongsheng's face was as still as water, with no expression at all.
He knew that the old classmate might be a little resigned to his fate.
"Let's help refuel too."
"to whom?"
"What do you think?" He looked at his teammates and said, "We are at the school next door."
"Save money! Come on!"
Following Tang Xiaochuan's loud shout.
I saw the R1 off-field robot of the Provincial Battle Team, throwing a ball high into the air with lightning speed.
Then...right under everyone's eyes.
It landed accurately on the rotating bowl above the head of the Huake R2 robot.
"Huake R2 robot pauses for 15 seconds!"
With the referee's voice, the whole court fell silent.
This is the first time since the competition that a team has shot down the ball above the opponent's robot!
