4.0 CONCLUSION, LIMITATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In conclusion, the experience in building two robots which are the MR1 and the
MR2 from scratch helps to strengthen the bond between the team-mates as it requires a lot

of sacrifices and the sharing of knowledge. With the advancement of robotic technology,
more robots will be created in order to reduce the execution time, to increase the efficiency

of the performance and to minimise human errors. The limitation we faced in terms of

knowledge is the lack of experience in making legged robot, since most of the robots we
built before were wheeled robots. Thus, it took time to brain-storm the mechanisms and

other technicalities. In addition, one of the challenges in ROBOCON 2019 is that we need
more observation and experiment on the topic of stability and robot kinematics. For the

future event, we need to be ready with any possibilities regarding the theme of the next

ROBOCON competitions.
