throwing mechanism when throwing the Shagai into the Landing Zone. The performance

metrics for both the MR1 and the MR2 are tabulated in Table 1.

4.0 CONCLUSION

The MR1 and the MR2 has been successfully build and tested. The MR1 with its
three-wheel platform was able to manoeuvre in a narrow path easily and the success rate of

the Shagai throwing was rather high. The MR2 was able to walk with its four-legged and
the success rate of the block and rope crossing was acceptable.
