By Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterRobots designed by university students on Saturday competed in a soccer game, with designs by Minghsin University of Science and Technology (MUST) students winning first and second places. In past games the focus was on individual performance, but the theme this year — “Robot Football: Goal!” — required students to operate their robots as a team, he said. After fierce competition on Saturday afternoon, two of the three teams from MUST won the first and second places, beating teams from NTU, National Cheng Kung University, National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, National Chung Cheng University, National Taipei University of Technology and Yuan Ze University. The team had been adjusting the robot’s mechanical and motor structures since November last year, team leader Hsu Chih-min (許智閔) said. “MUST students are potent in machinery contests because the school puts a lot of focus on cultivating students’ practical skills,” Lin said, adding that other universities put more emphasis on theory.
