this is my post on FB.
what certain media bodies are doing now, is feeding people with all the negative news about everything whilst disregarding the positive things to induce fear and sadness in the public. they can choose to report the fact that we ranked 9 (or 8?) out of 5x teams during the elimination rounds, with the first few being NASA JPL, MIT (not sure) and what not. they can also choose to report the fact that we have the skills to control the goddamn robot. Yet, they disregard all these, and simply wrote "不過斥資一千五百萬元購入的它仍笨手笨腳" as if they would be able to make it fly if they own it. First, I don't think they know what research means: if you experienced no challenges during your research you're plain lying. All that incident tells you is just that we broke a part, now we're sending it for repair. Yet they choose to say "hku spent so much money to create a joke that is embarrassing us all". Second, I don't think they even know how it works and what caused the failure, therefore being unable to depict it more suitably. Third, out of all the good pictures they get to choose when the robot succeeded to work, they chose the shittiest looking one, with suspected negative intentions. If you're writing news, hand me the facts, I will do the bloody evaluation myself.
