The Role of Heroine Wins Robot Contest

An unusual sight at the 2017 Regional Indonesian Robot Contest (KRI) held at Graha Sabha Pramana UGM on May 11-13, 2017. Among the hundreds of KRI 2017 participants who were predominantly male, there was a formidable woman who was none other than Agustin Prima Princess. The woman who is familiarly called a princess in her daily life is a student of UNY's Mechatronics Engineering Education Program who succeeded in delivering the UNY robot team to win the 2nd place in the KRAI division (ABU Indonesian Robot Contest) at the 2017 Regional KRI 2017.

Agustin Prima Putri became the only woman who became the core team in the KRI 2017 KRAI division. He along with two other colleagues namely Yunus Karsiana and Ridho Abdul Sidiq who joined in the MAESTRO_EVO UNY team won 2nd place in the KRAI division at the KRI 2017 after successfully eliminating other competitors who in fact all the core teams were male. Although Putri is a woman, her ability to design and make electronic robots is undoubtedly.

The success of the MAESTRO_EVO UNY Team did not escape the hard work and expertise of an Agustin Prima Putri in preparing electronic robots. In her daily life, Putri usually does research and prepares electronic robots from the afternoon until 4 am in addition to her main lecture activities. In fact, not infrequently Putri prepares electronic robots to not sleep at all. "I have never slept at home, but I always take a minute to go home for an hour for parents. Prayers of parents who will accompany every step of a child's success. "Said the Princess to us. The sacrifice he made for the sake of the name of his beloved alma mater and realize the dream to become champions.

Behind her formidable figure, she is a patient and compassionate woman. Putri was able to balance the two other core teammates in managing the strategy. Even though she is a woman, Putri has extraordinary abilities in the field of robot electronics. Totality, patience, and hard work so far have yielded sweet results in the form of second place for UNY's MAESTRO_EVO team. The passion and will that burned within him was able to be an inspiration for others. Hopefully the other Srikandi out there are inspired and motivated to follow in the footsteps of an Agustin Prima Putri.
