The Gadjah Mada Flying Object Research Center (Gamaforce) won the overall winner of this year’s Indonesian Flying Robot Contest (KRTI) held online, 15-20 November. UGM dominated the government-organized competition with five gold medals and one consolation prize.
“Congratulations to the Gamaforce team for the achievement at the 2021 KRTI,” said UGM Vice-Rector for Education, Teaching, and Student Affairs Professor Djagal Wiseso Marseno at the awarding ceremony on Saturday (20/11).

Students of diverse backgrounds, some of which were Electronics and Instrumentation, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Communication Science, teamed up to make this happen.
“Gamaforce has proven its quality through this win. Hopefully, we can defend the title next year,” said Andi.

“Gamaforce will continue to support the aerospace’s development by research, and, hopefully, contribute to Indonesia one day. Jagat Saksana Dirga (Guardians of the Horizon)!,” said Nara.
