ABSTRACT

In the ROBOCON 2019 competition, two robots, the MR1 and the MR2 were built to
complete the game. The MR1 was required to pass the Gerege to the MR2 and wait for the

MR2 to reach the Mountain. After that, the MR1 will throw the Shagai to gain 50 points
followed by the MR2 climbing up the Mountain to raise the Gerege. The MR1 was design

to have four mechanum wheels for moving ability, a pneumatic mechanism for throwing the
Shagai and lifting up the robot, a servo motor for receiving the Shagai, and a servo motor

for the arm to hold the Gerege. For the MR2, there are four legs to provide moving ability

for the robot. Each of the legs is contructed with three servo motors, where two of the servo
motors were used for one joint, and the other for a different joint. Each leg uses a pair of 3.7

V battery, resulting in increament to the amount of torque of three servo motors. In this

report, the design of the MR1 and the MR2 will be shown and explained, accompanied by
figures and the flow-charts. Also, the problems encountered and the solutions provided will

be discussed in this report.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

ROBOCON is a competition that is held every year for the purpose of sharing the

knowledge and opportunity to compete between different countries in Asia. This report

elaborated the problem that was examined, the solution used, the objective of making the
robots, and how the robots were made.

There are several problems that were examined during the production of the manual
robot, which is the MR1. After ROBOCON 2018, some lessons and experiences were
