Introduction：
WER, an acronym for World Educational Robot Contest, was founded and organized by Federation of World Educational Robot. 2015 WER Chinese Championship is scheduled to be held in November 28th – 29th.
Teams that participate in the contest should consist of 2 to 10 participants who will design, build and run their robot made to complete the tasks together. WER encourages teamwork. Participating in the contest as a team will help them find their roles in the team. To encourage teenagers to work on different tasks in a team will help enhance their sense of honor and duty.
Besides, the extra task, which requires each team of participants to complete without teacher’s help, will be released 2 hours before the contest formally begins. For different divisions, there will be different rounds of contest, like Skill Interview, Extended Task, Thesis Defense, Team Contest, Poster Selection etc., each one of which contains certain amount of points. The winning team will be determined by its total points. The reason why we only release some tasks on-site is for keeping the contest fair and testing participants‘ abilities to solve problems independently with the knowledge they’ve learned.
