Last weekend we have been to Kawamata-machi in Fukushima prefecture to do Syamorobo-con!
Syamorobo-con! is Fighting rooster robot competition.
Children in Kawamata town made robots and fight with them.
Syamorobo-con! is held as one event in annual town festival ‘Kawamata Syamo Festival.’
The event have started in 2013 spring and this one is 3rd one.
We have prepared for this event since June.
I would like to share atmosphere of the event. You will see big smiles of kids:D
Children got their own egg of rooster robot. Robot parts were inside the egg shaped boxes.
Each kids assembled one robot and we taught them how to assemble.
they were so absorbed in robot.
They are all robot made by children. They all were so creative!!!
Ready for rooster robot fighting.
Each has 3 balloon in their back and they hit the balloon with their legs to smash the balloons.
Two children are in one team and the team who can save more balloon is winner.
Kids were so excited.
