Outside the Chunyu Stadium in Shenzhen Bay, posters such as "Teng Lijun's Reproduce 3D Tour Concert" and "Li Yuchun's Barbaric Growth Tour Concert 2016" were posted in the most conspicuous position, which indicates that these concerts will be staged here. In fact, all year round gymnasiums are occupied by various concerts and entertainment activities. However, in the four days from the 25th to the 28th, the stadium staged a field robot competition.
Different from other robot games, these robot games use the form of battle, and both robots play live against the battlefield. The competition is called RoboMasters. The organizer is DJI, a well-known drone and imaging system company. This year is RoboMasters Second, in addition to attract more universities to participate in the team, Dajiang Innovation is the venue moved to the finals in the Spring Cocoons Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Stadium from Shenzhen University in Yuanping Stadium, the venue to get the full visual experience Orientation upgrade .
RoboMasters Finals
According to reports, this year's RoboMasters National University Student Robotics Competition attracted 228 teams from more than 160 colleges and universities around the world, and nearly 7,000 young engineers signed up. After the division match and the kick-off match screening, the top 32 teams stood out and reached the final stage.
In the finals, each game is limited to 7 minutes, the first to break the opponent's base, or the player with the most blood will win at the end of the game. The game is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide, and the specifications are the same as the standard basketball court. The base robots of both teams are located on both sides of the battlefield. Hero robots and infantry robots can walk around and attack opponents. In the battlefield, terrains such as "river", "wasteland" and "bridge" are designed, and robots need to respond flexibly. "Divine Runes" with different functions are scattered throughout the battlefield. Preemption of the runes can enable robots to recover their health in a short time. , increased attack power and other advantages.

In the RoboMasters 2016 battlefield local map, the robot successfully passed the obstacle of “plum blossoms†to capture the largest bullet and thus has stronger attack power. This link requires extremely high structural design of the robot. There are only a few teams in this competition. The robots in this area can complete this task. Among them, the heroes of the One Point Five S team of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of the United States have become the biggest highlights, and they can be called "The Great Devil".

After 2 minutes of the game, the "Big Rune" automatically opens, and the robot can activate the "Big Rune" only if it hits the same pattern in the panel five times in a row. After the "Big Rune" is activated, the attack power of all the team's robots is increased by 3 times and the effective time is 1 minute.

The 2016 RoboMasters Competition introduced many new elements. Hero robots and drones debuted on the battlefield for the first time. Compared to infantry robots, heroic robots have higher health, greater attack power, and special capabilities such as bypass paving; drones can be used to reconcile enemy situations, and their high altitude perspective provides operators with more comprehensive battlefield information. Or grab munitions to bomb enemy bases. For the safety of the audience, drones were tied to a rope during the competition, which also limited the role of drones to some extent.

Gao Jianrong, the head of the RoboMasters event, said in an interview with Lei Feng.com that all the robots in this competition were all designed freely by the players, including the size and shape, in order to maximize the creativity of the players. In order to be fair, the competition limits the chassis power of the chariot, the firing rate of the gun mouth, and radio frequency. "This year's robot speed is slower than last year because we have limited the power of the chassis. The power of the chassis is related to the motor. If you want high power, you can buy some more expensive motors. This is for some under-funded teams. It's not fair, so we're asking for a power limit, so you don't use a more expensive motor."
After three days of trials in the group, quarter-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals, RoboMasters ushered in the finals on the 28th, and the One Point Five S team of the University of Electronic Science and Technology from the 32 finals. The team came out and won the championship and successfully defended the national championship.
In the championship battle, the One Point Five S team defeated China Petroleum University (Beijing) SPR team with a total score of 3:0. In the course of the game, the One Point Five S team has activated the Great Rune symbol three times in the second round of the game, three times the team's triple attack power bonus, and created a record of the number of times the single player activated the big rune in the current game; the third round of the game Among them, the One Point Five S team quickly destroyed each other’s bases and completed tasks that were almost impossible to achieve in the top confrontation.
University of Electronic Science and Technology wins One Point Five S team
It is worth mentioning that last year's RoboMasters Championship also came from the University of Electronic Technology, of course, the team members are new. It was not accidental for the University of Electronic Science and Technology to win the RoboMasters crown for two consecutive times. It was related to the strong support of the school behind it. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China established a robot team as early as 2002. It has participated in the ABU robocon and Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Robot Contest for many times and has won several domestic championships. At present, the robot team has developed into an important student science and technology innovation base for the University of Electronic Science and Technology.
The One Point Five S team has been able to pass this round all the time, but it is inseparable from the strong comprehensive ability of its robotic team. The "Big Devil" hero robot, which played a major role in the game, landed on the Resource Island several times to obtain powerful ammunition, which ultimately increased the attacking power of the clan. The infantry robot's combat capability should not be underestimated, especially its vision. The technology not only allows the infantry robot to easily complete the "Large Rune" in 6 seconds, but also allows the base robot to perform automatic defense.
In an interview with the media after the game, Chen Junru, the leader of the One Point Five S team, said that in fact there are also various problems in the design of robots. Among them, during the design of the heroic robot “Big Devilâ€, there were five or six revisions before and after. In addition, the members of the last championship team also provided effective suggestions on technology, strategy and team management, laying the foundation for their championship.

In this RoboMasters contest, DJI set up a live broadcast during the final two days of the finals. The game was broadcast live on 13 platforms including Youku and Betta TV. According to Gao Jianrong, the online webcast watched over 2 million visitors. .
At the scene, because the venue was changed to the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Chunyu Gymnasium, which can host more audiences, the number of viewers on the spot can feel more significant than last year. Interestingly, almost half of the audience at the scene is the parents and children. One of the fathers told Lei Fengwang (searching for the "Lei Feng Net" public number) that because the child likes robots at ordinary times, he wanted to bring him over to play. Play and let him learn. For this phenomenon, DJI Innovation also expressed surprise, but they are very satisfied with this, which is very much in line with their initial intention to do robot education.

The cool venue design and lighting design, the fierce competition system, and the lively cheers and the truth, this is the best-looking robot game I've ever seen. It's a little better than a concert.
