Date : 22nd August 2008 (Friday) – 24th August 2008(Sunday) Time : 9.00am – 10.00pm Venue: Convo fair booth
UTPROBOCON team had been invited by Research Engineering Office (REO) to have a Convo academic exhibition. We are one of the luckiest organizations that had been invited between thousands of organizations/clubs that UTP have. Therefore, we take it as advantages for us in letting people aware of our existence.On the 21st August 2008, we did the preparation of the booth. We prepared a small gamefield within 10 x 10 meter. All the materials for the exhibition were handled by REO. Our task is only to prepare the robots and the gamefield. |

The exhibition starts on Friday, 22nd August 2008 in the evening. At first, the responds from UTP students were not good. UTP students were very eager to have more fun at the convo square. Some of them don’t even realize that we are in the air condition booth even though we are the special one compared to other booth. On Saturday, 23rd August 2008 our booth had been visited by our Chancellor, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. Tun also had been given a chance to play with our robots and he seems very happy to play with the manual robot. We really appreciate with his presence. Plus, we were very happy to see that our robot is working and all of our hard work is paid off. UTPROBOCON team had a great time with Tun and we really appreciate it. Furthermore, our robot had attracted everyone, mostly children. We gave them a chance to play with our robot by shooting the ball into the basket. This is the most attractive part of us, even the older also interested to try it. The exhibition ends on Sunday, 24th August 2008 at 6.00pm.
We had done a very good job. Everyone is playing their role in the team. Congratulations to all of us and the most interesting is, we had been recognized by a lot of people. Even UTP website also had published our picture with Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad our beloved chancellor.
