Abstract

Javelin throw sports are one of the events in sport arena and frequently held in every big sport event such as Olympics Games, Commonwealth Games and etc. Been take part by both male and female. As the technology grown, transportation of the javelin from the field to the game personnel booth is used. Existing transporter used is modification from remote control (RC) car with addition of other feature. But existing product has several problems with the design of the platform. Therefore, this project is mainly to design, fabricate and testing of new design of platform, which more user friendly and mobility. Several methods have been discussed in this project which technically related to static and dynamic analysis. Condition of terrain that rough and uneven might be the major problem in this project. To solve this problem, design of the platform and as well as the transporter must been well consider and analysis. As transporter, this project will use mobile robot, which mostly use in consumer product that frequently use as entertainment or to perform certain task like vacuum cleaning.
