lacks of skills and hand-on experience, resulting in the waste of materials and unclean

fabrication.

It is recommended that the competition is held annually so that the students and
instructor get involved in real life hand-on experience in building robots. The experience

gained from such competition is important for the development of students’ soft skills and

trade skills, and this is important because they are the future work-force of this country.
Sufficient funding should be provided, and sponsorship and technical supports should be

encouraged especially from the private sectors. With the right support and funding, more

functional and competitive robots could be developed. For example, the usage of machine
and laser cut could provide better quality and precise fabrication.

5.0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The team would like to express our gratitude to the Advanced Technology Training
Centre (ADTEC), Shah Alam for allowing us to participate in this competition and for

allowing the use or tools, materials and equipments in order to complete the project.
