ABSTRACT

This report is a demonstration of two robots, the MR1 and the MR2, their 3D design, circuit

connection and programming. The robots are made with the aim of participating in the
contest ABU ROBOCON 2019 (Mongolia theme), representing team from Asia Pacific

University of Technology and Innovation located in Malaysia. The team consists of three

different fields of Engineering: Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, and Mechatronics.
The designs and circuitry for both the MR1 and the MR2 are made according to the

specifications provided in the rule-book. Designs are then illustrated and sketched in
Solidworks software. Furthermore, the models were built using Aluminum profiles (frame),

stainless steel (screws, bolts and nuts), acrylic plastic (electronics base), PLA (the MR2
legs) and plastic tubes (cylinders). There are also pneumatic pistons, cylinder, pneumatic

valves, linear actuator, DC motors, servo motors, buck converters, DC motor drivers, Lipo

batteries, relays, and servo shields. The wireless PS2 controller which is attached to the
mechanical parts are controlled by Arduino DUE as well as Arduino UNO. The

programming was made in Arduino software and uploaded onto the controller. Half of the

map was built according to the official design of ROBOCON 2019 Rulebook map to test
the efficiency and functionality of the built robots. 3D design of the robots, circuitry and

programming flow-charts are also provided in this report. The team members are also
involved in management, interpersonal, team work skills and motivation, which is one of

the important aspects of making this team a success. Overall the report contains

introduction, detailed design, conclusions and acknowledgements.
