2009 National Robotics Competition – Local Competition Tawau
May 8, 2009
This is my first time attending a competition for robots. Actually I bought one (not the same model) 3 years ago from a magazine but now I just put it in my cabinet for displays - it can not be upgraded anymore.
I like robots since I know the Transformers cartoon around 1984 - 85. It was one of my favorite cartoons. And when it is being made into a real action movie - I like it even more. Optimus Prime is my favorite character - cool yet very scrupulous with great leadership ability. I remember his tag line "Autobots... roll out!” Huh huh... Awesome!!
Hm.. Sorry, let’s go back to the original story. The robotics competition was held in Dewan Tun Ahamad Shah, SM Teknik Tawau on 05 - 06 May 2009. I only manage to go there on the second day. The day before was the competition for primary school - got no information on it. Well, on the second day was the competition for the secondary school. There are two categories for the secondary level – First: Robot Planting (Lower Secondary) and Second: Robot Energizing (Upper Secondary). I don’t really know the difference because the robots look the same to me.
Teknik Tawau got "kilar" or in the other words got nothing at this time around. As host to this competition, we should bag at least 1 silver medal and book a place to the other level. The advantage is there – playing on our home ground but what to say… I think they were a little bit nervous as it is their first time competing. Better luck next time! We can do it! Here is the picture of some of the Teknik Tawau players for the competition.
I manage to peak out the results as it being announce. It was a smashing result. Look at these final standings after the competition.

You can access some of the highlights in Pahaikan’s Album. Until the next robots competition, see ya.
