RoboGamez,UNITEN

Every year,several universities would have a competition in creating robots and that these robots must abide to certain requirements.Topping the charts would be universities like UPM and UTM.Shu said that usually,the competition is held at PWTC but this year,the chosen location was UNITEN MPH.Eventhough Shu attended the event only to get marks for his EMS class,I think we pretty much got more than what we came for.

The first place we stopped by was a booth where we can sign up for a locally published magazine called Robots:Head to Toe.The subscription is free so we went ahead to sign up.The best thing about grabbing the free copy given at the booth today was that there was a 4-page coverage on the stepper motor which Shu needs for his EMS project.I have trouble understanding some stuff in the mag but most of the things I read were awesome.

We spotted a dude standing at a booth with 2 robots.We looked closely and discovered that those robots were made from recycled things like plastic bottles and water pump floats.One of it was designed with a motor taken from a car wiper to move its head.AWESOME!The dude basically has classes for creating and combining effort and expertise from 3 completely different areas which were art and engineering and creativity.Hah!

We got into the hall and sat down for a bit.There was a robot made with the base of an RC car.It was just moving around the hall for a test run or something.Funny,I imagined it set some people in fire or something.I know that the robot I shall design would be able to do that and destroy a whole lot of things in a whole lot of different ways ^_^ I still wish it set that woman's kain on fire.That would have been something fun to watch.

It turns out that this year,UTM did not compete.Hurm..........

Shu has made a 95% recovery.Yey!I got home and killed several sims by setting them on fire which was really fun to do ^_^
