Robot Team Mio_rEi from Polytechnic State Electronics Surabaya (PENS) ITS Surabaya lost in a world robot contest in Cairo, Egypt on September 19 to 23.
"We apologize for the ABU Robocon 2010 only able to survive until the preliminary round," said Director PENS Ir Dadet Pramadihanto M. Eng PhD through an international phone line connection from Egypt on Thursday.
He said the team PENS-ITS Surabaya only able to bring a special award ("special award") of Mobuchi Motor. "Hopefully we can show robots the better in the years ahead," he said.
In a match that followed by 17 teams from 16 countries (the host is entitled to send two teams), participants were divided into six groups.
Mio_rEi team entered in Group C, the same group with China and Nepal. Are in Group C along with heavy opponents, such as China is the unexpected.
At the beginning of the match in the preliminary round, six who competed namely Egypt 1 vs Fiji (score 53-0), Thailand vs Pakistan (score 47-3), China vs Nepal (score 120-1), Japan vs Malaysia (28-51) , Egypt 2 vs Sri Lanka (33-1), and Hong Kong vs Mongolia (36-12).
Achievements China Team with a score of 120, aka "pharaoh" (perfect / a landslide) within 1 minute 39 seconds shows the superiority of the team "State Bamboo Curtain" was.
The next session in the preliminary round, six teams also yakn Egypt 1 vs Saudi Arabia (score 12-0), Thailand vs India (score 64-1), China vs Indonesia (score 120-7), Japan vs Vietnam (a score of 22-7 ), Egypt 2 vs Brunei (score 26-0), and Hong Kong vs Mongolia (score 3-26).
China Team remained perfect victory (pharaoh) in the second session, while the score of 7 obtained Mio_rEi team through hard struggle.
"That's because automated robot Mio_rEi unstable when preparing middle pyramid (khafraa). This is very different from training and running test that runs perfect," he said.
To obtain a wild card to enter the final perdelapan, Mio_rEi team strives to improve the acquisition of its value against Nepal, but with a less stable robot ultimately only won the game by a score of 22-3, which ran aground to get a wild card.
The value collected by a team of Japanese and Malaysian higher, so that's what both teams get a wild card.
