ABSTRACT

ABU ROBOCON started in 1991 and was restricted to teams from Japan only. Nowadays,
ROBOCON is open to all Asia-Pacific counties. Each year, the competition has different

topics and it will be held in different counties across Asia. Generally, two or more robots

must be used to complete the tasks. One of the robots will be manually controlled while the
other one is autonomous. The robots usually weight more than 10 kg and span in one square

meter area. German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) has participated in the event for the year
2018. The robots are built with aluminium material and upon testing and analysis have

concluded the design required to complete the task within the given time.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

ROBOCON Malaysia 2019 is also organised yearly in the country to select the best
two teams to represent Malaysia in the Asia-Pacific competition. For this year’s game, the

theme is based on Mongolia’s traditional way of transporting goods across countries, called

ULAANBAATAR. The teams must now create two robots. The autonomous robot must have
four legs like a horse and move without any wheels. The manual robot on the other hand,

has no restrictions in terms of movement. Each match will be between a Red team and a
Blue team. The match will only last for a maximum of three minutes.
