In a competition in Malang, UNY sent nine representatives, which were dominated by students of the Faculty of Engineering. Putri Wulandari, one of the team members, from the Mechatronics Engineering Education Department, revealed that her team's journey started from the group stage, semifinals to the final. "We brought 4 robots, so during the competition one robot acted as a kipper while the other as a defender and two other robots as attackers," said Putri.

"After the implementation of the competition in Malang, we have conducted several evaluations for future improvements and ask for prayers and support so that we are selected as regional representatives to advance to the national level," he hoped.
