ABSTRACT

ROBOCON is an annual robot competition participated by countries in the Asia-Pacific

region. For 2019, it will be held at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This year theme is Sharing the
knowledge which is related to the Urtuu system of Mongolian tradition. This year

competition requires the participant to build two robots with one of them must be a four
legged robot. This project is to describe the development and fabrication of the robots which

are used in this competition. The robot is developed according to the specification provided

by the organizer. The first robot is a manual controlled robot. For this robot, four omni
direction wheel powered by four DC motors are used for its movements. A pneumatic

system is used for gripping and for the throwing mechanism. It is controlled by an operator

using a wired joystick. The second robot is an autonomous four-legged robot. This robot
movement is powered by four DC motors. Both robots use Arduino based micro-controllers

as its brain and is powered by Lippo batteries. The programming language used for this
project is similar to C/C++ programming. The robots are first designed using CAD software

before fabrication. After the fabrication is done, the robot is tested to make sure it can carry
out the tasks as intended. At the end of this project, two robots were developed and

fabricated according to the specifications. Testing shows promising results and it is hope

that these robots could put up a good challenge to any of its opponents.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The ROBOCON competition has been held annually since the year 2002 [1][2]. It is

a competition for undergraduate students across the Asia-Pacific region organized by the
Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) [3]. In this competition, a team must build two

robots according to the pre-described specification and these robots are designed to perform
