Participating in the 2024 Hong Kong Inter-University Robocon with the EdUHK Robotics Team has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling experiences of my university journey. As the team leader this year, I had the privilege of designing and constructing Robot 1 (R1), which played a crucial role in our performance. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including limited resources, we achieved a major milestone by securing our first-ever victory against PolyU—a momentous win for our team.

During my RTHK interview, I found myself reflecting on the entire journey, and it brought out some unexpected emotions. It wasn’t just about the victory; it was about the dedication, perseverance, and teamwork that got us there. Those moments of vulnerability reminded me that challenges push us to grow, and I couldn’t be prouder of my team for pushing through and achieving what we once thought was impossible.
