“This KKCTBN contest rating will be done for each category with some criteria. Not just the fastest time, the maneuver on every obstacle on the circuits will be considered. There is also the best boat design award,” said Dr. Nur Subeki, ST., MT. as the Chief Executive of KKCTBN 2019 in UMM when interviewed on Friday (13/9) afternoon.
There are 3 contested categories. The first one is the Automatic Control Boat. In this category, the boat designed and assembled with automatic electronic software or color censor. The second category is Electric Fast Boat with Remote Control System. In this category, the boat will use battery as the source of propulsion with remote control support. The last category is Fueled Fast Boat with Remote Control.
“Every category of boat prototype contests have different missions and challenges. Generally, the ability to complete mission and challenges can be measured trough the speed and maneuverability. Those mission and challenges translated into a circuit that must be passed by every ship in every category,” said Subeki who is also the Vice Dean III Faculty of Engineering.
