This victory makes the Maestro-Evo team represent Indonesia in the international arena at the ABU Robocon competition on August 25, 2024 in Quảng Ninh Vietnam. With the theme 'Harvest Day' requires two types of robots, namely Robot 1 (R1) and Robot 2 (R2), which will work according to their duties due to the limitation of robot motion space determined by the regulations. Both robots will work full automatically and semi-automatically to pick up, put down the Seedling, throw the Paddy Rice or Empty Grain, and pick up and put it into the Silo basket. The Maestro-Evo robot consists of R1 and R2 who work together to complete the ABU Robocon 2024 game rules . R1 is semi-automatically in charge of picking up paddy and putting it in the place provided (Area 1), besides that R1 is also in charge of throwing the ball from Area 2 to Area 3. Then, R2 can automatically move freely in area 1, area 2, and area 3. R2 is tasked with taking and placing the Seedling, then R2 will immediately move to area 3 or Storage Zone to take Paddy Rice and put it into the Silo until it gets full points (Mua Vang).
In preparation for the National Indonesian Ash Robot Contest, the Maestro-Evo Team started by checking the readiness of the robot, including batteries, air pressure in pneumatic bottles, and others in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that had been prepared. Rasyid Ammary Yahya, as the head of the Maestro-Evo Team, admitted that the whole team was actively involved in every process of preparing for the competition.
