As most members of our team are new to the AI
Formula Edge competition, we are grateful for the advice
and assistance from our teachers and more experienced
teammates. They taught us the essential aspects of the
competition, like the rules and scoring system, and
helped us improve our car and devise our strategy as a
team.
Most importantly, we learned the importance of
teamwork and collaboration in this competition. We had
to work together as a team to plan our strategy, test our
car and just our parameters. Over the course of the 3 day
competition, we learned to communicate clearly and
effectively with each other and listen to each other’s ideas
and feedback. Ultimately, being flexible and adaptable as
a team made us stronger and more confident, helping us
achieve our goals in this competition.

“THE SUCCESS OF OUR TEAMS IS ALSO A DIRECT
REFLECTION OF THE COMMITMENT FROM OUR
ENTIRE CKY COMMUNITY...”
As our third endeavour in the AI Formula Edge
competition, we initially believed that we had the
expertise to surpass our best record of top-8 finalists and
were determined to place in the top four. However, this
sense of self-assurance became complacency, which
meant that we did not take risks that we should have.
Admittedly, our strategy was excessively reserved as we
assumed, from our previous experiences, that a slower
speed would ensure a stable performance and good
placement: yet, this was quickly proven wrong, as many
teams had improved a lot and optimised their car’s
performance. Hence, when it came down to comparing
speed, our performance was outshone, albeit being able
to complete two laps without deviation from the track;
which is why we should have strived to do better.
Overall, though we did not leave with many awards,
this experience has proven to us the importance of
stoicism and remaining calm under stress, in relation to
how to effectively and clearly communicate with
teammates in a high-pressure environment. It was a
fruitful experience :)
