ABSTRACT

The main objective of ROBOCON Malaysia 2018 is to design a launching mechanism as

Messenger Robot 1 the MR1 and walking mechanism as Messenger Robot 2 the MR2. UKM

ROBOCON team has created two types of messenger robot with two different functions.
The MR1 is designed to pass the Gerege to the MR2 before the MR1 is allowed to lift and

throw the Shagai. Meanwhile, messenger robot with walking mechanism will carry the
Gerege and move towards the hill after Shagai has been thrown. Basic concept of

programming and Arduino platform were applied to generate the algorithm for walking
mechanism. The unique mechanism for the MR1 is the usage of two sets of sprocket for

lifting purpose. For launcher part, the use of 15 bars of pressure in pneumatic system

combined with mechanical concept helps to throw the Shagai into the target area.
Aluminium-based materials that was used for this project due to its lightweight and ease of

manufacturing characteristics. The overall process of exchanging information must be
completed within three minutes.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

ROBOCON 2019 is an open national level of robotic competition. The mission of

this competition is to deliver information by using a relay messenger system. In order to win

the competition, technical skill is crucial for designing and assembling two types of robots
which are the MR1 and the MR2. These robots are based on the Urtuu system [1], invented
