The team brought Rocky to the testing arena for a public qualification test. Many rival teams also trained in that city, so the place felt crowded with competition. They wanted Rocky ready before they stepped into the spotlight.
Before the test began, they found that one design file had been copied without permission. Mara Chen warned that if the leak spread, rivals could copy their work. The team locked down the project data and changed all the passwords.
During the test drive, Rocky lost power for a short time. Aiko Tan checked the machine and found that a battery connector had been damaged. Because the damage did not look like normal wear, the team began to suspect sabotage.
After the test, one important control module was missing. Lin Wei told everyone they could not finish the machine without it. Omar Patel stayed calm and said they should rebuild the module from the backup plan.
The team reported the sabotage to the tournament officials. The officials could not identify the attacker right away. Still, the team chose to continue, because stopping now would end their chance to compete.
