If you thought the London Olympics was the only major international competition on this summer, you would be wrong.
如果你认为伦敦奥林匹克运动会，是今夏唯一主要的国际竞赛，那你可就错了！

这场比赛的明星─两只大猫熊机器人，每只有超过20个活动关节。
[He Rong, Xihua University Student]:
“We worked very hard on these giant panda robots. It took a lot of work to ensure even easy moves. For example, we spent three days to complete the giant panda costumes."
新华大学学生贺绒说：“我们这在些大猫熊机器人上花了很多功夫。甚至是很简单的动作，都要要花很多功夫来确保。例如，我们花了三天的功夫完成大猫熊的服装。”
