The team led by Bayu Irawan Nugroho and Dwi Nur Fajar succeeded in defeating the toughest competitor, Universitas Brawijaya (UB) in second, and Sepuluh November Technology University (ITS) in third.
UMM's Robotic Team was won as the first winner of this prestigious robot contest between universities in Indonesia, after the UMM DOME Robot recorded its fastest accumulated time value, which was 1.16 in the first session; 1.24 in the second session; and 1.11 in the third session, with a final grade of 3.51.

If again it gets good achievements, namely coming out as the first winner of the KRI National fire extinguisher category, UMM will again represent Indonesia at the Trinity College International Robot Contest 2020 in Hartford, Connecticut, United States.
UMM's "DOME" robot also received team achievements with the Best Strategy. The team leader admitted, Bayu Irawan, that his team's strength was in mapping the path from the start point to the Fire point. "Our mapping strategy is not wordy. From start directly to the point of fire and back again to start. While other teams have to check into an empty room first, "he said when contacted Thursday (25/4). (* / sir / oci)
