Last Saturday, August 25, 2007, my classmates and I went to the Shangri-La Plaza to attend a program. This program is entitled Robo Fiesta. In this program, robot fanatics, students, and robot builders gathered so that they can show and demonstrate the robots that they did. There were also contests in this program such as the “Robo Sumo”, where robots are pushing each other out of the ring. There were many other games such as the game where robots with detectors follow a pattern and the best and fastest one wins.

In the program, there were so many students, students that build robots themselves. They’re remarkable and how I wish I could be like them. Some of the nicest robots that I saw were the Dancing Robot, which dances with the music, the Robo-Sapien, Robo-Boa, Robo-Raptor, which moves, talks and dances, and the robot arm.

In the program, there were also displays and demos of past inventions. An example of this was R2-D2, which was used in the movie “Star Wars” and as the movie evolves the robot improves more. For me, this tells us that technology is really improving through time.

These are the things that made me enjoy this wonderful exhibit. Also, this program helped me in learning new things about robotics. I have learned that it robotics has been here in our world for so many years, I know this because of the vintage robots that I saw. I also learned that robotics makes people more creative. But the greatest lesson that I have learned is that robotics can help us and it can make a difference.
