　　"The degree of difficulty was changed during that time. It's totally different from what we did in training. As each mission² is accomplished³, there are slight changes. Our robot needs to be adapted steadily⁴ to complete the challenges. It's difficult to make every detail perfect in a short time."

　　Some 12-hundred primary and middle school students have attended the three-day contest, which began on Friday.

　　The "Abilix Cup" first began in 2000.
