Quick and easy has become a key concept in the design of the robot UTHM. It is easy to install, durable and easy to maintain. Many electrical and electronic components have been supplied by the Laboratory of Industrial Automation and Robots Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (FKMP). In addition, Robotics Laboratory, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Electronics (FKEE) also contribute expertise and share components. Fabrication work was done in Computerized Machining Laboratory, Laboratory of Advanced Machining, Conventional Machining Laboratory, FKMP. All development work has been supported by laboratory technicians involved in the monitoring of the academic staff. It is something to be proud that there are no technical problems faced during the contest period.
Teamwork and mental strength of students and staff from various fields have been evident during the preparations for the tournament. Students take three months to complete the design, perform fabrication, installation and ujilari their robots. The competition gave the opportunity for students to strengthen the engineering knowledge they have learned with soft skills. It has been proven that academic programs developed by academic members FKMP have positive values in theory and practice.
With this victory has injected a spirit of cooperation between staff and students to achieve the perfection of teaching and learning and exploring new knowledge and technology with wisdom.
