In fact, professional level model competitions are different from other sports competitions because they cannot be determined through direct competition.
In this competition, all the contestants were selected through intense preliminary and semi-finals, and by the end of the finals, there were only over thirty mecha models left.
The competition venue is on the school's main lawn, where each contestant has their own open exhibition stand where they can display their participating works, processing tools, venue models, promotional posters, and other well crafted models, as well as self made animation.
A total of five judges are composed of professors in mechanical design from the college, senior engineers from mecha manufacturing companies, toy company presidents, and other professionals. However, they do not reveal their identities, but instead mix among ordinary visitors to secretly observe the contestants' models or ask certain professional questions about the candidates to determine the final score.
Of course, those headhunters will not miss this opportunity. Sometimes even if a contestant does not win the final victory, as long as their creative ideas and the style of a certain company are similar, they are likely to be directly hired as professional designers.
So over thirty contestants are full of energy and confidence.
There are also many small booths formed by students outside the professional contestants. As long as you have the courage to show off in front of everyone, you can come up with your own model. Perhaps if it is valued by a certain company, you can become wealthy overnight.
In addition, the school is filled with a festive atmosphere with vehicles selling snacks and toy companies specializing in selling mecha models.
Silly Qiang is also one of the more than thirty finalists, and besides reading, designing mecha models is his biggest hobby.
Qiao An and He Ruozhi, as his assistants, helped him decorate the booth, connect the lights, play dV programs, and so on, sweating profusely.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, all the exhibition booths were almost decorated and the models were all in place. A large number of people immediately rushed into the grassland.
Wow, the professional level Xunlong mecha is great
The military pT-547 model heavy firepower armor with camouflage coating is too exquisite, even the exhaust holes on the sole of the foot are carved completely without any omission. It's really good
"Look at the animation over there. The video of three Sirius detection mecha getting ready to escape from a meteor shower is great. This mecha model has been specially damaged. Every wound is lifelike as if it was completely hit by the meteor shower. It's really wonderful!"
The cute children couldn't understand the doorway inside the model, they just thought these mechas were so excited and screamed wildly.
As soon as there were too many abortions, he couldn't care about He Ruozhi and Qiao An. He kept explaining his creative ideas and concepts to past visitors with a serious face. You know, the five judges are all among these people!
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
He Ruozhi looked left and right with anxiety on his face.
What's the matter? "Joan asked.
Why hasn't my sister arrived yet? She said she's coming to the competition today, "He Ruozhi said.
In addition to the finals of professional players, many people have obtained semi professional qualifications and can use their own mecha models to seek advice from the judges and the final winner after the competition.
This is also done to enhance the enthusiasm of the public and create invisible advertisements for schools and major companies.
He Xiaomei was selected by her primary school as a representative to showcase her mecha on stage.
This is the honor that Xiaomei has been looking forward to for a long time!
Perhaps there's a traffic jam. The traffic at the school gate today was really bad, "said Joan. She also knew that He Ruozhi's sister was a mechanical enthusiast and had a completely different talent from He Ruozhi.
Silly Qiang is going crazy with his busy schedule, but he often stutters when talking about mecha, and when it comes to pure professional academic vocabulary, he doesn't have much money to do extra decorations, so after a while, the crowd gradually decreases.
It seems that we have failed. "Silly Qiang sighed," Everyone likes to see mechas with shiny exterior and handsome names. They are completely not interested in my design
No way. "He Ruozhi patted his brother's shoulder." These are all misunderstandings from ordinary people. It's important to hide in the midst of gunfire on the battlefield. Isn't the shiny appearance of the mecha a moving humanoid target? I think your design is very good, although both mechas look like toads
Indeed, the two mecha designs designed by Silly Qiang are both very simple in appearance and do not have the shape of humans at all. Instead, the ugly animals lying on the ground are also coated with black swamp camouflage, just like the enemy infantry in an animated film. No wonder no one has watched them.
A chubby middle-aged woman stood in front of the silly booth and frowned for a while before concluding, "These two mechas are really ugly
Silly Qiang sighed and said, "Yes
The middle-aged woman nodded her head and agreed. Then she said, "But it seems that Lebensraum will be higher."
Silly Qiang's eyes lit up and he said, "You can also see! These two mechas adopt a prone design, with a height of less than a quarter of that of a regular mecha. They have excellent performance in avoiding aerial artillery fire, and it is also difficult for the enemy's lightsaber to successfully strike these two mechas in close combat
So how does your mecha attack the enemy? "The woman asked with a smile.
Look. "Silly Qiang skillfully removed a small device from the mouth and tail of the two mechas." This is a beam weapon generator that specifically attacks the enemy's legs in close combat. We all know that the weakest part of a humanoid mecha is the support axis of the legs, but if it is also a humanoid mecha, it is difficult to attack the legs. My design is completely correct
But humanoid mecha has the widest range of uses. Your design seems to have fewer combat functions because the jet holes are all at the bottom, making it difficult to adapt to space warfare
Silly Qiang said decisively: I don't think every mecha must adapt to various combat environments. The design concept of these two mechas is ground combat on complex terrains. You see, in addition to limb support, there is also track action or hovercraft flying close to the ground. My desired combat mode is to be able to simulate hiding in the dark and form a combat formation with humanoid mechas, and wait for the enemy to approach before suddenly pouncing and attacking in an unexpected manner Kill
The woman nodded her head and carefully looked at the silly design.
Qiao An and He Ruozhi on the side quickly approached and tightly grasped the only visitor, one serving tea, one delivering water, one shaking a fan, and one delivering a towel to pay their respects.
This... looks like a good design, but I seem to have never seen this type of body on the market before. Did you modify it yourself? "The woman continued.
