Smart robot contest (Thriller Story)

HAPPY READING 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Bram was busy doing the task of one of his college eyes. Magnetic Field. These friends say it's a god-level course. In addition to discussing the phenomenon of electricity around the magnet, also the calculation that makes a dizziness seven circumference, integral (one branch of high mathematics).

Anyway, this is the hardest course. But anyway Bram had to take the course and immediately finish the assignment from his lecturer.

“Meong.. meong..”, suddenly Bram's smartphone rings. Somewhat strange guy using a kitten's voice ringtone.

Bram immediately picked up the phone, there was a whatsapp message coming in.

From Raka,”Bro, the program is finished, we work now?”, Tanya Raka.

“Ntar, I am still working on magnetic field tasks, just in the afternoon we work.”, replied Bram.

“Oke” Raka also approved.

After a while Bram worked on magnetic field tasks, he also prepared equipment to meet Raka. They are working on a personal project. They made a small robot to participate in the robot contest.

Bram had already driven on his motorbike to the robotics laboratory. The journey from Bram boarding house to the robotics building takes about 15 minutes. The building is located on the left side of the road within the campus environment.

Arriving at the robotics laboratory, Bram immediately opened his toolbox. He took out all the equipment ranging from spare parts to stringing robots, some parts of the board and colorful cables.

Without the command, Raka also prepares his equipment. The next moment they were immersed in their work. Every now and then they glanced at the laboratory wall, a design drawing of the robot-making plan stuck there. They must be observant to install every part of the robot, so that the results are perfect.

After the entire robot section was attached, they both noticed the robot of their work. The robot is about 20 centimeters in size.

The robot looks like a spider. With 8 feet, and 2 hands on the body. A mini camera is mounted on top. On the front and under both hands of the robot, there is a propeller.

Bram started to turn on the laptop, he installed a connecting cable between the laptop and the robot. He was busy making ‘coding’ and transferring it into the robot system. Raka is preparing her smartphone. Raka has made a robot controller software installed on his smartphone.

“Completed”, Bram said.

“OK we turn on the robot”. Sahut Raka's.

After Bram turned the ‘ON’ button on one of the robot parts, Raka immediately operated his smartphone. At that moment, the robots of their work began to walk. Having legs that look like spiders, then the way of walking is similar to spiders as well.

The robot walked there and there following the control of the Raka smartphone. “good, according to planning. Time to try climbing”, said Bram. “OK we try, whether this robot can climb”, said Raka.

Bram immediately took out a small arena similar to the location image of the robot match to be contested. Raka immediately put the robot into the arena and began operating the robot through his smartphone.

Inside the arena has been prepared a box located in the middle of the match. The right left side of the box has small holes. On top of the box was a candle and the fire was lit by Bram.

The robot walked towards the middle of the arena. Then the robot climbed the box to the top of the box. Slowly but surely, one by one the robot's feet climbed the box. A maneuver is carried out by the robot to reach the top position of the box.

With the lancer the robot has reached above the box and is in front of the candle. Then Raka started pressing the “Push” button. At that time, the propeller in the robot body began to spin tightly until the fire on the candle was extinguished.

The robot has completed a mission to extinguish the fire. Bram and Raka smiled satisfiedly, their work was successful.

The long-awaited day arrived, the campus streets were so crowded. It looks like people are heading to the campus multipurpose building location. That's where the provincial-level robot contest is held.

In the building, the spectators had packed the match area. The audience consists of various ages, ranging from children, teenagers, students, to middle-aged. Some carried the flag of the campus alma mater. Some even wear robot costumes.

There are 3 categories of competition. The first is the general category, the second is the student category, and the third is the category for High School and Junior High School children.

Bram is testing his robot. This time they did not use a controller. Robot has been enhanced with additional artificial intelligence’. The robot will run automatically looking for the box and put out the fire on top of the box.

When the robot has reached the box, the robot is seen walking around the box, Bram just pay attention. After feeling too long, Bram also called Raka,

“Bro, the robot from earlier walked around the box, did not immediately climb”, Bram told Raka.

“hah? Cook anyway?” Ask Raka.

“Try note..” Excite Bram.

After a few minutes of paying attention, Raka draws the conclusion that their artificial robot is error.

“Waduh, whereas want this match, ayok immediately we fix”. Said Raka.

The game has started, one by one the team displays their respective robots. Raka and Bram are in 10th place to equip their robots. Until the appearance of the 9th team their improvement is still not finished. If they do not perform, they will be considered dead.

The two best friends were still busy completing their work, until finally they finished making repairs, he said,

“Next, Team Braka, with the name of the robot also Braka is welcome to enter the arena of the match.”, said loudspeakers from the match-fixing referee.

“Waduh, how about? Though not tried again?”, Tanya Raka.

Their robots have been repaired the software and hardware side, but unfortunately they have not had time to test again.

“How else, we enter the arena of the match only, immediately appear, rather than us disqualified and considered knockout”, replied Bram.

The two of them along with the Braka robot entered the arena of the match. Robot Braka also began in power ON, indicating that the robot is ready to carry out a mission to extinguish the fire in the middle of the arena of the match.

“Ready? 3.. 2.. 1.. start”, exclaim the match referee.

Raka also began to press the Go button to give commands to the robot. The robot began to walk. Soon the robot arrived in the middle of the game. The robot started to spin the box.

A little long time ago the robot did the action around the box. Raka and Bram watched their robot anxiously. For a moment the robot stopped spinning, then slowly began to climb the box. After reaching the box, the robot began to see a candle with a fire burning in front of it. At that time, the robot moved a fan attached to its head. Even a moment of fire was extinguished.

The entire audience rumbled, they clapped. Raka and Bram instantly cheered in excitement.

“Successful !!!”, strangle Raka and Bram together.

“Robot Braka managed to climb and extinguish the fire, congratulations to Braka team. The robot took 1 minute and 23 seconds to put out the fire. Next call to team 11 to get ready.”, uajr match referee gives an explanation to the entire audience through loudspeakers.

After the game ended, the Braka robot was in 5th place as the 2nd hopeful champion.

“No papa, Bro. We will join another robot contest next year with a more perfect robot”, said Raka.

Bram just nodded glumly.
