A student kneels on the floor in front of a competition robot with the number 1310 displayed on its bumper. The robot is equipped with various mechanical components and wiring. In the background, another robot is partially visible. The setting appears to be a robotics competition arena with a dark backdrop and bright overhead lighting. Five dancers perform a dynamic hip-hop routine on stage, each mid-movement with one leg lifted and arms positioned for emphasis. They are wearing matching outfits. The background is a gradient blue stage backdrop, and the polished floor reflects their movements under stage lighting. Three individuals wearing long blue lab coats stand around a small wheeled vehicle equipped with a large solar panel mounted on top. One person holds a red tool, another appears to be explaining or inspecting the setup, and the third holds a round object. The scene takes place in a workshop with automotive equipment, tools, and machinery visible in the background. A student holds up a glass test tube containing an orange liquid in a science lab. The background shows a blurred laboratory setting with counters, sinks, and other individuals working.
