自911美國紐約世貿大樓與五角大廈遭襲擊後，世界局勢風起雲湧。為表示對和平的渴求，我們經相議後決定設計及製作兩具特色的跳舞機械人－美國總統布殊及沙特富商拉丹，並為他們編寫輕靈的舞蹈，願以蠅火燃起一點和平之光。

 

After the horrible events of 911, the world is seeing a war develop that (we fear) might not come to a peaceful resolution in the near future. In order to express our desire for a more peaceful world, we have choreographed a dance for our robots - President Bush and Osama Bin Laden.

創作過程

REALIZATION

 

創意來自靈感，靈感源於不同背景的成員互發的火花。經過不停的小組會議及分工，我們一步一步地踏向完成的大道。整個創作過程可分為四個階段：

首先我們先運用RCX電腦軟件(對環境有反應的微形電腦裝置)及LEGO片設計並製造機器人。 RCX將會成為機器人之腦部中樞系統。我們學習運用ROBOLAB 電腦軟件來設計操縱機器人的電腦程式，設計好的電腦程式下載於RCX後，便可以操縱電腦機器人，ROBOLAB也使電腦機器人有了自己的行為與性格。ROBOLAB 有不同的層次，我們進一步應用在試驗階段裡所學的操作指令，運用設計更複雜的電腦程式。使RCX發揮更大的潛力與作用。此階段的電腦程式必須靠我們自己的創造與革新能力才能使機器人更具特色。完成了電腦程式的設計，下載於RCX之後，機器人便可以運作。最後階段是執行電腦程式，測試先前所設計的程式與概念是否有效，機器人的反應和動作是否是我們所預先設計的。

Our brilliant ideas come in a flash, but the flash comes only after a lot of work. We came from various classes in Kwun Tong Kung Lok Government Secondary School and had learnt about Robotlab programming in small group sessions. We grouped together to do the design and setup our unique programmes . With the knowledge acquired, we have proceed to becoming inventors and built our personalized robots with unique “personalities” - our robotic caricatures of President Bush and Osama Bin Laden, with the aim that the two robots would dance together in unison and harmony. 

 

We had gone through the following 4 stages:

Stage 1:

Design and build our robots using the RCX brain chip (a microcomputer that can be programmed to respond to the environment) and LEGO pieces.

Stage 2:

Create a programme using the click-and-drag ROBOLABTM software to download into the RCX brain chip to give control, behaviour and even a “personality” to the robot.

INVENTOR LEVEL

The Inventor Level consists of four levels of advanced programming templates that give us more programming flexibility and creativity.

Stage 3:

Download our programme to the RCX brain chip using a special infrared transmitter that gives life and function to the robots built.

Stage 4:

The last step involves the execution of the programme where we can test and find out if our robots act exactly as intended.

 

 

 

結　語

CONCLUSION

合作是生命的藝術，希望是由互相包容的開始。通過比賽小組的相處，我們學識忍耐和接納。另一方面，音樂是人類共通的語言，音樂不分國界與膚色。形象化的旋律表現在舞蹈的節奏與動作中，縱然機械是冷，人心仍然自我地保護，但透過樂高可愛的小生命，我們可以一起歡笑，一起緊張，一起幻想，人與人的平等與和諧，在不知不覺中建立，隨著悠悠的舞步展現和平之歌。

籍此次之比賽我們獲得的種種學養，絕非課堂四壁所能給與：

1.        對創新(從無到有)工作之展開，實驗，記錄，問題分析，對策，邏輯推演等能力的建立；

2.        邏輯推演能力及圖型程式之學習以連結高階程式之訓練輔路

3.        學習團隊互動，分工合作的方法及重要性；

4.        比賽經驗之累積使勇於表現及信心之建立；

5.        從比賽練習中真正了解並學習到現實社會做事應有之態度，問題觀察之敏感度，實驗精神及方法，問題導出，記錄到對策分析等之思索模式，資料整理，計劃乃至於最後的文章表達等能力之加強。

經過這次比賽我們學習到很多東西：如了解到馬達、電池的特性，程式到底有多大？程式能做很多很多的事，尤其是動手作及實驗再實驗是重要的。在學習編寫程式時，我們注意到需具有之基本方法及態度，相信即使是此次之比賽不論是失敗或成功，對我們而言，永遠是正面的，失敗了未來對任何事會更加小心警惕，成功了也了解成功所需之努力及代價為何？我們在比賽場上歡笑、相擁、懊惱及挫折，相信這對所有的人而言都是一次難忘的經驗，在學習回憶中多了一項歡樂回憶的腳印。

 

Music is the true international language and we believe that our similarities are greater than our differences and that the whole world should dance together.

Although robots are lifeless and without feeling, we hope that our choreography can be a symbol of a more peaceful world.

Through creating our own robots by using Lego Dacta kits, we gain hand-on experiences, stretch our endless imagination and attain better understanding of concepts about programming. Creativity is greatly emphasized throughout the entire course. Learning is being such fun that it becomes never be the same as before.

In fact, the following learning outcomes have been found after the competition :

l         Encourage creativity and innovation through the creation of robots.

l         Develop our science and engineering skills through hands-on experiences that relate back to the real world.

l         Develop an understanding of basic programming language.

l         Develop communication and social skills through teamwork.
