DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
The team conducted an evaluation and then conducted discussions and research to be able to develop things that still need to be developed from the previous year and prepare strategies to be able to implement IRC 2024 optimally. Based on the results of discussions and research, the team decided to use a symmetrical hull catamaran with the same modularity concept as last year but with a wider frame to make it easier for the team to carry the boat when moving it and more stable.
Furthermore, the boat design process was carried out. The team simulated stability and RAO on the hull and simulated static stress on the hull to get the best hull and hull. The simulation was performed using Maxsurf, Fusion360, and ANSYS software.
The hull manufacturing uses materials from fiberglass and gelcoat as the main coating. The manufacture of the hull is carried out with plywood material from the design that has been made and analyzed. Then the hull that has been arranged is coated with gelcoat until it becomes a mold and then coated again with gelcoat and fiberglass to make the hull. After the hull has been made, painting and arranging of the frame on the hull is carried out.

The team installed electronic components and propulsion systems on the boat. The placement of team components is arranged appropriately so that electronic components are safe and can work optimally. The team also placed the exhaust fan installation on the top of the boat so that air circulation in the box is maintained and protected from excessive heat.
After all the building process has been completed, further testing of the boat is carried out. The test carried out is a buoyancy test to determine the ability of the boat to float when receiving loads from components and propulsion. Then an impact test was also carried out on the boat's frame in holding the hull when subjected to dynamic loads

After all testing is completed, the team will conduct experiments with the boat to complete the mission on RoboBoat 2024.
