MMU5 Team Shares Excellent Journey of Winning Best Design Award at VEX Robotics World Championship

After its clean sweep victory at Malaysia Open VEX Championship 2017 in February, the Multimedia University’s innovators who represented Malaysia to VEX Robotics World Championship 2017 (VEX Worlds 2017) in Louisville, United States later reached a higher point where the raring to go team, better known as “MMU5”, too home the Design Award in the VEX U World Championship – Innovate Division. Following the domestic success, a new contingent comprising four students and one lecturer from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) was formed. They wasted no time in enhancing the technical drawing, machining of parts, electronics assembly and software programming and testing. The major challenge of VEX Worlds 2017 was to achieve the highest scores by throwing the most “stars” and “cubes” to the opponent zone over a fence and to climb and hang on a cylindrical pole.
