hello everybody thank you very much for

hello everybody thank you very much for being here let me tell you my story so

being here let me tell you my story so

being here let me tell you my story so before coming here in Czech Republic I

before coming here in Czech Republic I

before coming here in Czech Republic I was living in Switzerland in a different

value as a student was schoolwork so when I arrived here in an international

when I arrived here in an international

when I arrived here in an international school and I was absolutely shocked by

school and I was absolutely shocked by

school and I was absolutely shocked by the number of activities students were

the number of activities students were

the number of activities students were able to take it was all about exploring

able to take it was all about exploring

able to take it was all about exploring oneself and becoming someone better it’s

oneself and becoming someone better it’s

oneself and becoming someone better it’s even a requirement for the international

even a requirement for the international

even a requirement for the international diploma to actually be part of clubs so

diploma to actually be part of clubs so

diploma to actually be part of clubs so I started to join clubs because I want

I started to join clubs because I want

I started to join clubs because I want that friend yes I’m going to did I shame

that friend yes I’m going to did I shame

that friend yes I’m going to did I shame of that that’s okay no so yes I went

always in his parents room working on

always in his parents room working on some programming that nobody really

some programming that nobody really

some programming that nobody really understands but yes how many of you

understands but yes how many of you

understands but yes how many of you actually ever thought of joining a

actually ever thought of joining a

actually ever thought of joining a robotics club raise your hand yes me

robotics club raise your hand yes me

robotics club raise your hand yes me neither

neither

I actually never really thought I will

I actually never really thought I will join the Robotics Club because of all of

join the Robotics Club because of all of

join the Robotics Club because of all of those stereotypes that I was full of but

those stereotypes that I was full of but

those stereotypes that I was full of but still I join the club and because my

still I join the club and because my

still I join the club and because my french crushed me anyway

french crushed me anyway

french crushed me anyway I’d win the club and when I arrived

I’d win the club and when I arrived

I’d win the club and when I arrived there three positions were available as

there three positions were available as

because logistic didn’t excellent job

because logistic didn’t excellent job what is fun and what is shocking is

what is fun and what is shocking is

what is fun and what is shocking is actually that we never really touched

actually that we never really touched

actually that we never really touched the robot still we feel still we still

let me explain what actually details this is a record the logistic is

this is a record the logistic is

this is a record the logistic is sleeping through the year explaining all

sleeping through the year explaining all

sleeping through the year explaining all the challenges the success and the

the challenges the success and the

the challenges the success and the difficulties making a robot oh my god

difficulties making a robot oh my god

difficulties making a robot oh my god this was hard to make because it was a

this was hard to make because it was a

this was hard to make because it was a real challenge to make it because we had

real challenge to make it because we had

real challenge to make it because we had to compute all of those

to compute all of those

to compute all of those formation from the different branches

the programming the building and I literally became a parasite always

literally became a parasite always

literally became a parasite always behind the boulders and programmers

behind the boulders and programmers

behind the boulders and programmers asking them what they were doing with

asking them what they were doing with

asking them what they were doing with her about to make what and what was what

missed effective communication we missed teamwork and this is why it was the

teamwork and this is why it was the

teamwork and this is why it was the beginning of the club was a difficulty

beginning of the club was a difficulty

beginning of the club was a difficulty for everybody but we still we worked

for everybody but we still we worked

for everybody but we still we worked together and we started to communicate

together and we started to communicate

together and we started to communicate with with each other and by always

with with each other and by always

with with each other and by always listening the situation got better it

listening the situation got better it

listening the situation got better it was note still not perfect

was note still not perfect

was note still not perfect to be honest has fun story we actually

to be honest has fun story we actually

to be honest has fun story we actually finished the notebook in just two

finished the notebook in just two

finished the notebook in just two minutes before the competition filling

wavern discover and cook our complete it was the programmer told the judge that

was the programmer told the judge that

was the programmer told the judge that he tried to make a color detector camera

he tried to make a color detector camera

he tried to make a color detector camera which is basically a camera on the robot

which is basically a camera on the robot

which is basically a camera on the robot that will help the robot to see colors

that will help the robot to see colors

that will help the robot to see colors and move back toward them by itself a

and move back toward them by itself a

and move back toward them by itself a complete failure but still they tried it

complete failure but still they tried it

complete failure but still they tried it and it was an information we never heard

and it was an information we never heard

and it was an information we never heard about that will have been perfect Indian

about that will have been perfect Indian

about that will have been perfect Indian genome and during the book because

genome and during the book because

genome and during the book because without it the colour detector camera

without it the colour detector camera

without it the colour detector camera was not on the robot and because it was

was not on the robot and because it was

was not on the robot and because it was not record there were no way to know

not record there were no way to know

not record there were no way to know that actually we really tried it the

that actually we really tried it the

that actually we really tried it the question and without a yes and this is

question and without a yes and this is

question and without a yes and this is to say that robot take building rope

to say that robot take building rope

to say that robot take building rope even if robotics is building robots it’s

even if robotics is building robots it’s

even if robotics is building robots it’s not only the point here because it’s

not only the point here because it’s

not only the point here because it’s also important to communicate

also important to communicate

also important to communicate effectively what you tried in real life

effectively what you tried in real life

effectively what you tried in real life with other areas that are not only

with other areas that are not only

with other areas that are not only related to robotics and for that it was

related to robotics and for that it was

related to robotics and for that it was something that we missed again we work

something that we missed again we work

something that we missed again we work we did not understand yet our important

we did not understand yet our important

we did not understand yet our important this book was because this book was the

this book was because this book was the

this book was because this book was the history of the club and if again to

history of the club and if again to

history of the club and if again to conclude if folding is robotics is

conclude if folding is robotics is

conclude if folding is robotics is building robot what is important is not

building robot what is important is not

building robot what is important is not only to subject itself but I’ll and not

only to subject itself but I’ll and not

only to subject itself but I’ll and not only the result itself but our you reach

only the result itself but our you reach

only the result itself but our you reach to

to

to result and now you communicate what you

result and now you communicate what you

result and now you communicate what you did and what you tried and this I did

did and what you tried and this I did

did and what you tried and this I did not learn it in school school that

not learn it in school school that

not learn it in school school that separated learning into field alluring

separated learning into field alluring

separated learning into field alluring it in a club I learned that the process

it in a club I learned that the process

it in a club I learned that the process was as important as a result in a club

was as important as a result in a club

was as important as a result in a club luckily it was still enough to actually

luckily it was still enough to actually

luckily it was still enough to actually want the competition and we overcome all

want the competition and we overcome all

want the competition and we overcome all the other bitches that we have it was a

the other bitches that we have it was a

the other bitches that we have it was a dream completely true because nobody was

dream completely true because nobody was

dream completely true because nobody was really believing it that’s even us and

really believing it that’s even us and

really believing it that’s even us and therefore nobody plan anything to

therefore nobody plan anything to

therefore nobody plan anything to actually continue the journey to the

actually continue the journey to the

actually continue the journey to the next stage it’s still we raise the money

next stage it’s still we raise the money

next stage it’s still we raise the money we have a composer issues and we built a

we have a composer issues and we built a

we have a composer issues and we built a new robot all of that to the final

new robot all of that to the final

new robot all of that to the final competition which will last that’s a

competition which will last that’s a

competition which will last that’s a detail because now when I’m looking back

detail because now when I’m looking back

detail because now when I’m looking back I know that we have the most important

know it I went there with a team of eight other students and two of my

eight other students and two of my

eight other students and two of my teachers oh my god those people were

but the most important of all robotics told me all the real-life

robotics told me all the real-life

robotics told me all the real-life experiences were as important as the

experiences were as important as the

experiences were as important as the academics

in classes you learn each subject

in classes you learn each subject separately but if you think like it’s in

separately but if you think like it’s in

separately but if you think like it’s in club that you have the ability to mix

that you rediscover those real-life high

that you rediscover those real-life high school experiences and for me it was in

school experiences and for me it was in

school experiences and for me it was in robotics so at last I would like to use

robotics so at last I would like to use

robotics so at last I would like to use this opportunity to say thank you to the

this opportunity to say thank you to the

this opportunity to say thank you to the all the other member of my club from st.

all the other member of my club from st.

all the other member of my club from st. Louis from this year that are so

Louis from this year that are so

Louis from this year that are so wonderful because at the end it’s you

wonderful because at the end it’s you

wonderful because at the end it’s you who made me a better person so thank you
