“The Robocon contest has been hosted every year in
Hong Kong since 2004. Each one of those years has
been received with passion and enthusiasm and this
year was no different,” noted Stephen Lau, Chairman
of the Organising Committee of Robocon 2014 Hong
Kong Contest and Vice President (Executive) of HKCS.
“Robocon offers a platform for students to explore and
demonstrate their creativity and skills in technology
through the challenge of robotics. The event fosters
friendship and promotes an exchange of experience in
engineering and information technologyamong students
from different nations and cultural backgrounds. These
are the future leaders of the 21st century.”
《全港大專生機械人大賽2014》籌備委員會主席兼
香港電腦學會副會長（執行）劉嘉敏表示：「此大賽
自2004年開始在香港舉辦，每年都得到本地的大專院
校踴躍參與，而今年也不例外。每年的大賽都為學生
提供一個發揮創意的平台，透過親手設計和製作機械
人，使他們能夠探索技術性的問題和展示他們的創意
與能力。此外，Robocon亦給予香港學生機會，跟其
他國家同樣是21世紀的未來領袖交流，互相了解文化
背景和分享工程設計及資訊科技方面的心得。」
This year’s Robocon 2014 in Hong Kong attracted nine
teams fromsixlocal post-secondaryinstitutes to compete
in the format of a pool match. To bring the central
theme to life, the organisers set up a 12-by-12 metre
game field separated into five child zones including two
see-saw zones, a swing zone, a pole walk zone, and the
jungle gym zone. The contest was separated into several
rounds with a time limit of three minutes. In each round,
two teams had to compete against each other to finish
the “rides” with an autonomous “child robot” assisted
by a manually-controlled “parent robot”. The winning
team in the finals will go on to represent Hong Kong in
competing at the international Robocon contest hosted
by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) in Pune,
India on 24 August 2014.
After a series of heated rounds and close match-ups,
The War Dragon team from The Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology (HKUST) demonstrated the
greatest engineering finesse and beat first runners up,
The Fiery Dragon team, also from HKUST, in the final.
The War Dragon team therefore captured the title of
Champions at the Robocon 2014 Hong Kong Contest
and will represent Hong Kong at ABU Robocon in India
later this August. SAPIENTIA, from The University of
Hong Kong, took second runner up place.
今年比賽總共有九支來自六間大專院校的隊伍參與。
為切合「親子樂融融」的主題，主辦機構特別將比賽
場地佈置成一個十二米乘十二米的兒童遊樂場，然後
再細分為五個區域。包括两個蹺蹺板區、一個鞦韆
區、一個梅花樁區及一個攀登架區等遊戲設施。一如
以往，比賽分為多個回合，每回合限時三分鐘，由兩
隊對賽。參賽隊伍的全自動「小孩機械人」會由人手
操控的「家長機械人」協助完成遊戲設施上的指定任
務，最快完成或獲最高分數的隊伍可以晉級準決賽，
而於最終回合勝出的參賽隊伍將會在八月份代表香港
到印度參加由亞太廣播聯盟（ABU）舉辦的《亞太廣
播聯盟機械人大賽2014》。
經過連番激戰，香港科技大學（科大）的「征龍」隊
展現了卓越的工程設計能力，於最終回合擊敗了同樣
來自科大的「火之龍」隊，勇奪冠軍，並將代表香港
參與在印度舉行的《亞太廣播聯盟機械人大賽2014》
，「火之龍隊獲得亞軍，季軍得主是香港大學的「格
物」隊。
