As the previous international opens, this time, the European Open was still based on brick robots. The contest was made of arena tasks, extended tasks and team presentation. In which the arena tasks were 4+3 tasks, which means that there were four pre-determined tasks and three additional tasks. The contents of the additional tasks will only be issued at the debugging period, which, to the largest extent, shew the contest principle of “Compete the students rather than the coaches.”

The team presentation, besides the decoration of the site, also includes the micro video themed “My Robot Partner.”Contests put their imagination into full play. Their infinite imagination, passion in robotic study and achievement were completely shown in the videos.

World Educational robot contest was launched and held by World Educational Robotics Society catering to kids and adolescents aged 4 to 18. Each year nearly 500,000 contestants from 30 countries came to attend all levels of contests.

Now that WER is becoming more and more wide-spread, more and more kids and adolescents are able to get in touch with the top-level robotic contest, its enormous educational values has been generally recognized by the whole society.

The theme of the contest was still the “Industrial Age”of WER 2017 based on brick robots. The contest was made of arena tasks, extended tasks and team presentation. At the arena, kids, no matter from China or abroad, were all devoted to the tasks, showing their astonishing imagination and creation.

The contest was set at Sydney Olympics Center, meaning that the spirit WER delivers is much like the Olympic spirit. The Olympic spirit emphasizes cultivation of bravery and endurance during the contest featured by friendship, unity and fair competition. WER aims to let students gain bravery to creative and train success ability regardless of frustrations, and at the same time, gain the precious friendship.
