Every robot, from legged to the wheeled category has a firefighting mission at a certain point of a space or room which similar to a house. The fire spotted placed randomly by the jury so that the robot is required to find the fire spot. After extinguishing the fire, the robot is required to go back to the starting point. The fastest robot will be the winner.
This achievement is in line with the UMM Rector Dr. Fauzan, M.Pd.the expectation of the launching event that promised to free their thesis if they win the competition.

The other two teams led by Bayu Irawan Nugroho an Electronic Engineering Students and Dwi Nur Fajar a Technical Information Students will also be in action in the Indonesia Robotics Contest (KRI) Regional IV on 21-23 April 2019 at Mataram Universities, West Nusa Tenggara. These groups will compete by using 2 kinds of robots, which are firefighting robot (DOME), and three football robots (Zhafarul).
There are requirements for football robots in this competition which must be fulfilled. There are detecting an object, dribbling, shooting, and localization. The detecting object is needed to differentiate the ball, opponent, line, and goal. The robot will be declared as the winner when they shoot more goals.Hopefully, it can exceed the achievements of its seniors. (joh)
