In quantity, the number of applicants this year was much different than last year. Last year amounted to 240 people. While this year range from half of last year, 119 people. When asked about the decrease in the number of participant selection, Basuki Kurniawan Dwi M. Kom as chairman of the committee explained, "The quantity is much different than last year, but it is essentially the same. Last year the number of applicants was 240 but the TPA (Academic Potential Test) was followed only 111. This year amounted to 119 participants and 102 people followed the TPA. Not much different, even in quality, this year better than last year. It is seen from the number of students who used to make micro-line tracer. Last year, line tracer were not must use micro ".
The committee is providing relief to the participants. Those who do not take the test due to several causes, can be reported and followed for the tests. Committee did not apply the fall system. "Each participant who has not taken the test can catch up later. Maybe because they feel pessimistic, eventually they did not take the test ", explained Mr. Dwiki, greeting familiar Kurniawan Dwi Basuki, M. Kom.
Robot contest in 2010 was much changed from the year 2009. This year 2010, Intelligent Robot Contest Expert Division Single Indonesia abolished. "I wonder what makes the central committee abolished this division," said Mr. Dwiki. The good news is, now is not only the Indonesian Robot Contest which may appear to Go International but also Intelligent Robot Indonesia contest wheels and legs Division can surf to overseas. 1st KRI champion will represent Indonesia in Egypt. While 1st KRCI Division wheels and legs champion will represent Indonesia in the United States.
The lack of this selection is the absence of specific tests for KRSI. This test is still common to all categories of robots. "In the future we hope to have an artistic or aesthetic test for KRSI", said Mr. Dwiki.
