Shadowless Chicken has been competing in the VEX Robot Competition for four years, and it will be his fifth season.
Only this year he went to junior high school.
So the team number was changed. The previous team number was 8982A.
We are a public welfare organization. 8982 are team of primary school students, 7671 are number of junior high school students and 7995 are team of senior high school students.
If you doubt it, Iād be happy to provide him with photos and certificates of the game from nothing but net.

Our team has already used GIT skillfully in elementary school. This is a screenshot of our git. We were also inexplicably checked by the contest team members in the 2019 World Championship.
We are a public welfare organization. Teachers donāt have to work for students and students of each teams work independently. We get a lot of help from Purdue University team.

This is chicken autodeskās server record. This season has 37 versions.
There are usually more than 200 versions throughout the season.
The main members of our team spend about 1000 hours on working in the lab every season, even woking all the vacations. Of course, they wonāt be studying VEX-EDR all the time. The another focus is on the NIOP project.
I also are coach in the American teamā¦ team number is 35216B.
The World Championship result is 6/5
As for the choice of the United team, I have only one requirement: prohibit the selection of teams who play mobile games on the field during the compiting time.
Finally, I want to tell you that there are no world champion team which is that students canāt build machines and programmes, itās impossible. Only robots made by themselves can connect with human and computer.
Is there anything else you need to know?

Itās also important to remember that the in the Tower Takeover manual regarding student centred teams, was never present in past VRC Game Manuals, As such, the level of adult involvement by certain teams in the past may have been frowned up, but was not illegal until this season. (The judging documents may have had guidelines on these topics prior to Tower Takeover)
As someone who has interacted with thousands of teams from across the globe, I can assure you that excessive adult involvement, which would flagrantly violate the current rules, is an issue that is not restricted to any one country. Iāve seen many upsetting cases in both Canada and the US, as well many other countries.

Thereās been suspicion in IQ that many China bots are ādadā bots, and it has also been noticed that a lot look very similar. This all just speculation but itās something to point out.

Again, this ādadā bot is not an unique issue for Chinaā¦ looking at the amount of complains and unhappiness in the forum, think ādadā bot is an issue in USA (and other regions) as well?
Like what @Karthik has mentioned, letās hope that with the new ruling in place, things will get better.
I really think it is totally uncalled for to call out the world champion and questioned their credential.
It is sad to see that the winner needs to come forth and defend themselves.
(I have not been a world champ before, but i donāt think i would like the feeling of being questioned after winning)
Be it Bo1 format, or whichever regions the winners are from, i always believe that we should respect our winners.
Letās give respect where respect is due.
All these questioning will only spread negativity, and it will not help anyone to grow.
Instead, i would rather focus on what were the one or two things that they had done better than my teamsā¦ And learn from them.

Iām not saying the winners are to be questioned, in fact, I think the winners are obviously the smartest minds and best drivers in the world, sure you can bring some question to it but they won, and they 999/1,000 chance deserved it. I brought up the suspicions for the general team. I agree that it also happens in the US, in fact there was a team at a local tournament that was raising eyebrows, but throughout the average of vex and vex iq, thereās a few teams that arenāt playing by the rules.

Dad Bots arenāt anything specific to a country or region. Iāve had to deal with numerous dad bots over the years in the USA. Itās not something unique to any place.
Letās stop with these passive aggressive accusations of other places.

The sad thing is that this thread took a sinister turn. I was hoping that US teams could share secrets of their success and Chinese teams could share secrets of theirs. It is apparent that there are differences between approach - and it would be really interesting to highlight them. What is the secret sauce for Chinese teams and what is the secret sauce for US teams? Is the secret sauce any different? I think there is curiosity because there are not many Chinese teams posting here (Iām guessing language is the barrier).

Something that Iāve discussed with some friends of mine when they talked to Chinese teams and one of my students who speaks fluent Mandarin and talked with many teams at the US Open was just at how quickly they have to iterate and improve.
The teams we see at Worlds are truly their best.
But itās a simple equation. More time spent working on your robot and improving, especially with driving and programming just yields better results overall.

Why are there so many small children on this team?

Well, I mean, last year in the later stages of the competition pretty much all of the good robots were āchina-botsā, aka Mantises. They were just too good: there was no alternative that could compete very well (except for the idea that I came up with one day after states ended and I didnāt qualify for worldsā¦ I couldāve done so well if I hadnāt scrapped my old robot [rambles on for hours])

because they start their kids young?
I am not sure how is it like in your region, but over in Asia, it is not uncommon to start kids at elementary school age on VRC (not Vex IQ).
Even in singapore, we start the kids at 9 or 10 year-old on VRC MS.
And even for my club, we dump our 12 or 13 year-old members into HS.

Exactly. Im a hong kong team and i always see people in china teams only knowing how to drive. Whenever the robot needs repairment or the code needs to be tuned, their instructor just helps them do it. Will be going to Beijing in August.
