Our Student Union holds a competition named "Monthly Star" semiannually, which aims to praise outstanding members. Each department takes it seriously, for it is also an honor of a department.

As a member of Academic & Science Department, I was elected to represent our department to compete for it.

Our department held an exhibition for the publicity of the robot final. There was a hot discussion on where to display the finished robots. Most people suggested showing them outside the dining hall for the large flow of people. However, I thought they should be displayed in teaching area. Firstly, a science competition was different from a recreational one. People who were really interested in it concentrated in teaching area, rather than in living area. Secondly, displaying robots in teaching zone matched with the nature of the competition. Thirdly, it's easier to keep robots out of the reach of people in teaching zone. After the explanations, they all agreed with me.

Results and gains: It turned out I was right. Each robot was well-protected. The number of audiences doubled in the final. Collaboration doesn't mean compromise. Our goal is to perform the task in an effective and efficient way through communication and cooperation.
