SPEIT

     Among the 16-member championship team, five students — Xu Ziya, Zhao Sunjia, Wang Bangyu, Dong Chunze, and Hua Qiuji — are from the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT). SPEIT students accounted for the highest proportion of participants among all schools and departments of the university, making outstanding contributions to the team’s victory. In addition, Li Congxu, a third-year student from our institute, also actively provided advice and played a key supporting role in helping the team secure the championship.

     When the robots traced precise arcs across the field, scored seamlessly, and won cheers from the audience, behind those moments were countless days and nights of debugging and improvement before the competition, as well as the result of strong teamwork and tacit cooperation. Over the past year, with the strong support of the university and the Student Innovation Center, SPEIT students not only ensured the excellent performance of the team’s robots through their spirit of innovative practice, but also attached great importance to international exchange and cooperation, continuously improving their technical capabilities through cross-cultural interactions.

SPEIT

Responsible for overall season planning, mechanical design, interdepartmental coordination, and project management during the competition.

     SPEIT students possess a remarkable spirit of dedication and research. The experience of innovating together has been incredibly valuable. I hope that more SPEIT students will participate in top international competitions such as VEX in the future and grow through these experiences. For me, the most important lesson that VEX U taught me is to establish a healthy attitude toward victory and defeat, as well as a strong sense of responsibility.

Responsible for the design and construction of mechanical structures, and long-term involvement in the prototype design and iterative optimization of the robot ball-path system.

     This year has been a journey of continuous learning, adjustment, and self-breakthrough for me. The honor of becoming world champion belongs to the long-term efforts of the entire team. This experience has further strengthened my determination to continue exploring the fields of mechanical design and robotics. I would like to thank the university for providing the platform and support, and thank the teachers and teammates who have accompanied me along the way.

Responsible for the design of the ball intake mechanism, robot assembly, and timekeeping during competitions.

     The VEX competition and this journey to the World Championship in the United States were completely new challenges for me. Through my experiences with the team and the preparation process, I came to understand the core principles of mechanical design and deepened my reflections on technological innovation. What impressed me most was the indelible cohesion of the team.

Responsible for programming design and debugging. Previously won the Championship and Excellence Award in the University Division of the National VEX Robotics Elite Competition with the team.

     This World Championship was my first experience participating in an overseas competition as part of a team. It greatly broadened my horizons and strengthened my foreign-language communication skills. I would like to thank the university for providing ample time for independent learning and high-quality innovation projects.

Responsible for mechanical maintenance. Previously participated in the VEX University Division Asian Open and won the First Prize in the National VEX Robotics Elite Competition.

     Competitions involve a long cycle, multiple stages, and high intensity. From early preparation to the official matches, teams face unpredictable challenges, which greatly highlights the importance of teamwork. Behind every breakthrough lies sincere cooperation among team members. Only through efficient communication and scientific task allocation can multiple perspectives be integrated, collective strength be consolidated, and innovation be inspired. I am grateful to the team for providing abundant training courses and practical opportunities, which have given me solid hands-on abilities and valuable teamwork experience.
