two robots must follow the regulations and the weight limit of ROBOCON Malaysia 2019

specifications.

1.2 Problem Statement

For the past years, several robots have been built by the team members of JTM
LIONS from ILP Mersing. However, so far, none of them are suitable to perform the tasks

of the MR2 as required by the ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 rule-book. The problems that

need to be of concern are:

(a) Throwing mechanism:

The MR1 must have arms that can pick-up the Shagai from Khagai Area and throw

the Shagai into the Landing Zone once the MR2 successfully reached Mountain
Urtuu. The distance between the Throwing Zone and the Landing Zone is about 2000

mm.

(b) Leg mechanism

The MR2 has four legs like a horse to move without any wheel. Each of the four legs
needs to make contact with the ground and separated again. Shuffling is not allowed.

Mechanism whose contact area with the field rotates 360 degree is prohibited [2].

1.3 Aim and Objective

The aim of this project is to design and develop the MR1 that can carry the Gerege,

goes along the Forest, the Bridge, crosses Line 1 in Khangai area, passes the Gerege to the
MR2 and throwing the Shagai. The MR2 must successfully receive Gerege, passes through

Sand Dune, Tussock and climb Mountain Urtuu to reach the Uukhai Zone. Each team has

to complete tasks in the Khangai Area, Gobi Area and Mountain Area. The first team that
reaches the Uukhai Zone and achieve Uukhai is the winner [1]. To achieve this, these

objectives are to be carried out:
(a) To design and develop a the MR1 robot consisting of an arm, a gripper mechanism

and throwing mechanism.
(b) To design and develop the MR2 robot consisting of four legs just like a horse and

this robot cannot use wheels to move.

(c) To develop electric circuit hardware that is able to integrate the sensors and electric
motors with micro-controller for the robots.
