Project Description:
The MicroMouse is a small autonomous robot that is designed to solve a 16 by 16 grid square maze in the fastest time possible. The project requires CAD design, PCB circuit design, prototyping, and software development. Last year, we built our robot from scratch, wrote our own simulation platform, and sent four mice earning 1st, 3rd, and an honorable mention at the regional competition. We hope to do even better this year!
