The previous weekend was truly amazing after 3 days of hectic late night planning and executing our idea. Our team and I were able to achieve top 5 out of 21 teams not only within apu but 7 others universities worldwide such as South Africa, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines. It was honour to be awarded with consolation since we are not only representing apu but also Malaysia and this wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance of our mentors. Therefore, I would like to show my gratitude to our academic mentor Ms khairunnisha Zainal and industrial mentor Mr Albert Wong Finally, I had a wonderful experience working with Putu Kirana Maharani Wika Ananda, Ros Amisya Fatiha, Vishal Maheshwari, and Adhit Satish. We all invested our knowledge and came up with a Handy-cap that is filled with IOT devices, such as micro-processors, proximity sensors, motors, and LED lights. The Proximity and relay the information to the micro-processor, which forwards the information to the motors present on both sides of the cap and to the LED strips present in front of the cap under the hood. The LED’s have three stages of lights, Green, Yellow and Red. This allows the user to react to the coming object behind them such as cars. I truly can’t wait for more upcoming competitions. #teamcollaboration #startupweekend
