Theme
The legend of Ha Long , goes like this “Once upon a time, soon after the Viet people established their country, invaders came. The Jade Emperor sent Mother Dragon and her Child Dragons down to earth to help the Viet people fight against their enemy. Right at the time invaders’ boats were rushing to the shore, the dragons landed down on earth. The dragons immediately sent out from their mouths a lot of pearls, which then turned into thousands of stone islands emerging in the sea like great walls challenging the invaders’ boats. The fast boats couldn’t manage to stop and crashed into the islands and into each other and broke into pieces.
After the victory, Mother Dragon and Child Dragons did not return to Heaven but stayed on earth at the place where the battle had occurred. The location where Mother Dragon landed is the popular Ha long Bay and where the Child Dragons descended is the called the Bai T u Long. Ha Long is the wonderful and skilful masterpiece of the Creation and of nature that only Vietnam was bestowed. Ha Long has become the pride of not only the locals but also of all Vietnamese people when it was twice recognized as the World Natural Heritage by UNESCO for its geographical and geomorphologic values. With its unique beauty, Ha Long is one of the most ideal destinations in Vietnam.
The rules of Robocon 2007 are built based on this legend of the Ha Long Bay Discovery. A team of robots (symbolizing dragons) will carry the blocks having the shape of cylinder (symbolizing pearls) to build various kinds of islands symbolizing “Ha Long”; and “Bai T u Long”. The first team to complete the building of “Victory islands” (in the shape of letter V in the centre of the Game Field) will be the winner. Duration of the game is three minutes.
