第21屆智慧鐵人創意競賽決賽，於8/6在南投縣暨南大學正式展開！小鐵人們除了要在72小時內進行關卡的闖蕩之外，最重要的就是挑戰主軸任務「明天過後」，有六種古蹟環境與四種不同文明的人種提供小鐵人們選擇，他們需要模擬出這些人在古蹟中的生存方式以及生活樣貌。小鐵人們除了要製作古蹟裝飾自己的教室與表演外，也要製作展示牆，更要搭配四軸飛行器進行表演。

The 21th IICC final competition officially began on August 6th at National Chi Nan University in Nantou County! Over the course of 72 hours, the team not only had to navigate through various tasks, but also focus on the main mission “The Day After Tomorrow.” They were given a choice of six historic sites and four different civilizations to simulate how these people would survive and live in those environments. In addition to decorating their classrooms and putting on performances, the team had to created display walls, and need to use the quadrotor aircraft in the performance.
面對72小時的連續挑戰，小鐵人們除了要完成主軸任務之外，還要闖關賺錢買道具，時間上的分配成了很重要的一環。而小鐵人們在主軸任務上也展現了很大的創意，不管是表演的呈現，還是佈景的製作，又或是飛行器的運用，每一組都各具特色。
Facing the continuous 72-hour challenge, the team had to manage their time effectively to complete the main mission while also passing tasks to earn money for buying props. The creativity displayed in the main mission was impressive, with each team bringing something unique, whether in their performances, set designs, or use of technology.
來自印尼的隊伍《BHASKARA TEAM》選擇了古蹟兵馬俑以及阿茲特克人做為他們的表演，而他們在表演中加入了與觀眾互動的環節，透過觀眾按下時光機器的按鈕進行時空轉移，同時他們也為表演製作了秦始皇的服裝。
The Indonesian team “BHASKARA TEAM” chose the Terracotta Army historic site and the Aztecs as the focus of their performance. They added an interactive element by allowing the audience to press a time machine button to trigger a time-space shift. They also created costumes for Emperor Qin Shi Huang as part of their performance.
而《哇～這就很抽象》選擇「阿茲特克人」經過時空亂流來到「埃及金字塔」的生活方式。他們製作了精細的紙偶表演，從一開始的地上世界就可以感受到他們的表演相當特別，之後更是揭開了地底世界的面貌，整段表演不斷給出驚喜，面對評審的提問他們也開玩笑說到，為了做出地底世界的柱子買了很多奶茶來喝，這些奶茶的杯子成為地底世界穩固的基石。
Another team, “Wow~This is so abstract,” selected the Aztecs who had traveled through a time-space vortex to live in the Egyptian pyramids. They crafted intricate paper puppets for their performance, which began on the surface world and later revealed the hidden underground world. The performance was full of surprises, and when the judges asked questions, they humorously explained that they drank a lot of bubble tea to build the columns for the underground world, using the cups as the solid foundation for their design.
隊伍《讓滷蛋飛》同樣選擇「阿茲特克」人以及「埃及金字塔」的主題。他們認為阿茲特克人擅長製作水利工程，所以到了埃及金字塔要如何利用金字塔內的結構發展出不同的水利工程文明，比如說水車。特別的是，他們利用現有的材料做出了可以轉動的水車，以及在金字塔內做出了可以運作的收集雨水裝置，都看得出小鐵人們具有驚人的創意
The team “Let the Eggs Fly” also chose the theme of the Aztecs and the Egyptian pyramids. They believed that the Aztecs were skilled in creating hydraulic engineering, so they showcased how these skills could be adapted within the structure of the pyramids, including the development of a waterwheel. They ingeniously used available materials to create a working waterwheel and a functional rainwater collection device inside the pyramid, demonstrating the team’s remarkable creativity.
經歷了72小時的奮鬥，小鐵人們各個又累又辛苦，在這72小時內，他們闖關，他們構思，他們製作道具，他們展現創意，為的是能在決賽的最後展現出最好的自己，不管得獎與否，每一位小鐵人都是獨一無二的，希望決賽的歡樂與艱苦，都能成為他們美好的回憶之一，並在未來的路上給予他們力量支持自己。（記者呂姵潔、江孟紓／南投採訪報導）
