1 before reaching Gobi Urtuu. Gobi Urtuu is the starting point for MR2. After the MR1

reaches Gobi Urtuu, the MR1 passes the Gerege to the MR2. Once the MR2 successfully
receives the Gerege, it must walk across the Gobi Area. The MR2 must pass over the Sand

Dune and Tussock to reach Mountain Urtuu. After the MR2 reaches Mountain Urtuu, the
MR1 may enter the Throwing Zone to throw the Shagai as shown in Figure 2, and must earn

50 points or more. Once the MR1 earns at least 50 points, the MR2 is allowed to climb the

Mountain to reach the Uukhai Zone. Once the MR2 reaches the Uukhai Zone, it raises the
Gerege and the match is complete. This is called Uukhai and the first team to achieve Uukhai

is declared as the winner.

From the task described above, the main problem that needs to be solved is to

develop two robots with its own capability to carry out the pre described-task. Among
others, the first robot must be able to move swiftly along the route, carry and pass the Gerege

and is able to lift and throw the Shagai. The second robot on the other hand must have the

ability to move on four leg autonomously and pass through several obstructions. The robot
must also have the capability to climb the Mountain .

In this project, the main objective is to build two robots to complete the pre-described
tasks. These robots are controlled using an Arduino micro-controller and powered by Lipo

batteries. The robot is mainly built using aluminium and some parts are designed and printed
using three dimensional (3D) printers. This robot also utilized a pneumatic system for

certain function such as the gripping mechanism. All of this must be done according to
specification designated in the rules, especially in term of size and weight.
