The team watched videos of the reigning champion robot and studied how it moved. They saw that in a direct clash, the champion was bigger and stronger than Rocky. They also knew its developers had already won many tournaments before.
Then a representative from the champion team came to offer them a way out. He said they could withdraw and save face if they quit early. Mara Chen refused at once and did not accept the offer.
After that, the team met with the volunteers and went over Rocky’s best moves. They agreed that they would not copy the champion’s style. Instead, they chose a plan built on quick strikes, traps, and a fast recovery after impact.
Omar Patel found a weak point in the champion’s turning system. Jian Sun made a part that could use that weakness. At the same time, Aiko Tan made sure Rocky would keep enough power to last through a full match.
Lin Wei told everyone that their goal was not only to win, but also to prove that the project could stand on shared work. The whole group then committed themselves to the final match, and Rocky was ready for the bracket round.
