Overview of the Project

• Micromouse
• Competition where autonomous robotic mice compete
  to find the center of a maze in the shortest time
  possible.
• Competition rules must be followed
• Ex Mice must not exceed 25cm x 25cm

General Discussion of Our Approach

• Traditional top down style mouse
• Implementing infrared sensors
• Implementing stepper motors
• Begin with an easy design
• Making mice a wall hugger or random turns
• Design more complicated algorithm
• Mouse can find the quickest way to the center

5
Potential Problems

• Problems with code
• Incorrect circuit
• Faulty equipment
• Inefficient power source

6
Learning Expectancies

• Debugging skills
• Circuit troubleshooting skills
• Designing skills
• Programming skills

7
Goals

• Moving mouse
• Able to turn
• Follow walls
• Track its position
• Find the center
