ABSTRACT

The theme for ROBOCON 2019 is Great Urtuu- Sharing the Knowledge, In participating in

this competition, we are to design and construct two robots named as the Messengar Robot
1 (MR1) and the Messengar Robot 2 (MR2). The MR1 robot will have three working

omniwheels as its locomotion system, a short gripper supported by a short pole to hold the

Gerege and a pick-up mechanism to pick up the Shagai. An aluminium tray is placed below
the pick-up mechanism with a throwing mechanism in between. The MR2 robot consists of

four mechanical legs attached to four motors. There is also a small container fixed onto the
body of the MR2 to hold the Gerege. Both robots must follow a stringent set of rules

regarding the dimension, weight and other aspects.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

ABU ROBOCON, an abbreviation for Asia-Pacific Robot Competition, is an
international robotics competition specifically known as Asian-Oceanian College Robotic

Competition, founded in 2002 by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU). In the

competition, the robots will compete to complete a given task within a limited period of
time. The contest aims to create friendship among young people with similar interest who

st
will lead their countries in the 21 century. This will encourage involvement of aspiring
engineers and robot enthusiasts in the advancement of engineering and technologies.

The topic of Robot Contest (ROBOCON) Malaysia 2019 is Satu Langkah, Seribu
Lonjakan [1], where it describes ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 as the first step in improving

the Malaysian Education and in making sure it is in the good direction. The contest is held
