ABSTRACT

This report aims to briefly elaborate KOGAS team robotic design and development stages

for the ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 competition with the theme - Satu Langkah, Seribu
Lonjakan. KOGAS Team has used the Computer Aided Engineering approach in designing

the robot components to shorten the development time and reduce the factors of mechanism
failure and at the same time complying to specifications given by the organiser. Design,

drafting and analysis were carried out through simulation using Computer Aided Drafting -
Computer Aided Engineering (CAD-CAE) to validate the mechanism design and its

assembly. Based on the analysis of the simulation, the cause of the failure will be identified.

The results of subsequent studies were used to improve the design by taking care of factors
that caused the failure. The discussion section will explain more on the results and finally

ends with a conclusion of what has been done, followed by recommendations for future
studies.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Robot Contest competition (ROBOCON) Malaysia 2019, is one of the most
prestigious robotic competitions in Malaysia and an open competition. The competition is

held every year to find Malaysia's representative to the ROBOCON Asia Pacific
Broadcasting Union (ABU). This year, ABU ROBOCON 2019 will be held in Ulaanbaatar,

Mongolia [1].

Each year the competition has a different theme, but generally two or more robots are

used to complete the task. One robot will be created with manual control while the other is
automatic. The best robots are usually weighing no more than 10 kg and a wide opening
