The team celebrated together with the volunteers who had helped build Rocky. Lin Wei said the victory belonged to everyone who had taken part. Mara Chen also thanked the people who gave their time, code, parts, and testing.
After that, the team published the robot plans and the software updates openly. Other groups soon started studying the design for new projects. The tournament officials confirmed that Rocky had won fairly.
The champion team accepted the result. Some rival developers said they would now study open-source methods. The sport began to change, because more teams wanted to work together.
Rocky was repaired and kept for future matches. The team decided to continue the project instead of ending it after one win. They set a new goal: to help more volunteers build better robots.
Lin Wei said that Rocky had never been only one machine. The story ended with the team looking ahead to the next season. The open-source team had proved their method could win, and that resolved the central conflict.
