Participants of Indonesia Wheeled Robot Soccer Contest (Wheeled KRSBI), National Indonesia Robot Contest (KRI) 2018 are challenged to use a fully auto robots during the contest on Thursday-Friday (12-13/7). The idea triggers participants to enliven the Wheeled KRSBI.
“We, the juries, dare all participants to employ fully auto robots for tomorrow’s match,” said Dr. Ir. Endra Pitowarno, one of the juries as well as a speaker at the technical meeting of the KRI 2018 on Wednesday (11/07) in the Twin Building K.H. Ibrahim Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY). The challenge was decided based on voting and not all participants agreed so that participants were given two options. “If you want to use fully automatic robots, please do it, or you employ manual robots, you may use it although the fully automatic robots may be better,” declared Endra.
Endra also predicted that the KRBI contest would be a tight match. Robots at the Wheeled KRSBI were superior to the Humanoid robot in speed. Thus, 3-on-3 match of the Wheeled KRSBI would be much more attractive than the Humanoid KRSBI. Nevertheless, the number of goals is the main scoring criterion at the Wheeled KRSBI.
