A Walk In the Past- 2nd FIRA Malaysia 2008

The 2nd FIRA Malaysia Cup was held on the 17th to 21st April 2008 in Johor Bharu Polytechnic.

It was an informative and education experience as all students and lecturers involved had trained and conducted numerous research on the Robot Soccer System.

A seminar on robotics was held in which participants from each of the 8 polytechnics presented papers on the research that was done after the 1st FIRA Malaysia Cup in 2007.

The papers presented are as follows :-

1. Robot Soccer: A Part of The Curriculum at Malaysian Polytechnics - PUO
2. Preventive Maintenance For Robot Soccer Mirosot - PKB
3. Micro Controler Based Projects Through Mobile Robot Competition - PSP
4. Systemetic Color Tunig for Mirosot SP Robosoccer 5 vs 5 - PPD
5. RS232 to USB Conversion for Mirosot Robot Soccer Purpose - PJB
6. Experiences, Constraints and Solution to Problems Arose Throughout the Process of Teaching and Learning of Robot Soccer - POLIMAS
7. The Charging Methods for Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries on Robot Soccer - PKK
8. Rationale for the Establishment of Robot Soccer Club - PKS

It is good to know that in a short time from September 2007 in which the 1st FIRA Malaysia Cup was held until April 2008 where the 2nd FIRA Malaysia Cup was held, each polytechnics Robot Soccer team had improved by leaps and bounds.

This was done to stimulate the minds of the students and promote innovation in the field of autonomous robot

This has huge impact to all polytechnic involved.
