INTRODUCTION

EXAMPLE OF MICROMOUSE ROBOT

qThe aim of the project was to design and build a robot which would be capable of solving a maze confirming to the micro mouse rules.

q The maze in which the robot will be challenged with comprises of a 16 x 16 grid of squares measuring 18cm x 18cm. The mouse will aim to find the centre of the maze, and from there perform a speed run from the start to the centre of the maze, this run is timed, and the aim is to get as fastest time as possible.

q The robot must be capable of propelling itself through the maze and find the centre, the robot will require a vision system to prevent it from crashing into walls. The robot must be fully autonomous and must receive no commands from a remote user.
