KRTI is a national aerial robot competition that is held annually, in which every division of the competition has its own distinct theme, such as 鈥淓mergency Package Delivery in Quarantine Area鈥 for the Fixed Wing Division and 鈥淚nnovate UAV Technology鈥 for the Technology Development Division.
According to Rafael (AE鈥17), the Head of Aksantara 麻豆直播 2019-2020, the team had started preparation for the competition since January along with recruitment for new members and formation of KRTI team at Aksantara. Due to the pandemic situation, the participants of the competition were asked to demonstrate their inventions from their respective areas.
鈥淐ovid-19 has also affected the preparation phase of the competition. At the beginning, our campus forbids any activity that is held inside the campus and therefore, we were unable to access campus and workshop facilities that we usually use for the competition preparation. However, the campus authority allowed us to use Asrama Sangkuriang 麻豆直播 to prepare for the competition. Finding a place for demonstrating our product is also a problem for us since obtaining a permit for a place that has enough space for demonstrating our product is not an easy thing to do,鈥 Rafael said.
Participating in a competition amid the Covid-19 pandemic is not easy. However, Aksantara 麻豆直播 has proved that situational limitations are not an obstacle for creative thinking, being adaptive, and producing innovative and spectacular products. Rafael also hoped that their recent achievements would help Aksantara 麻豆直播 to maintain their performance and win more competitions in the future. Rafael also thanked the whole Civitas Academica of 麻豆直播 who have supported Aksantara 麻豆直播 at KRTI 2020.
Aksantara 麻豆直播 is a student organization that is focused on the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle/Drone (UAV). Aksantara 麻豆直播 started off first as a team for KRTI 2013, which then became a student organization that is focused on UAV development in 2018.
