MicroMouse 2017
Micromouse is an engineering design competition created in the late 1970s. Small robotic "mice" are tasked with solving a 16x16 cell maze. The mice are completely autonomous and must find their way from a predetermined starting position to the center of the maze. The mouse needs to keep track of where it is, discover walls as it explores, map out the maze and detect when it has reached the center. The mouse typically performs additional searches to determine the fastest route possible from the start of the maze to the center. Currently, our Micromouse team competes in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering regional student conference.
Speed Racer
Right now new members are working on making their own Speed Racer robot designs which will teach higher level robotics concepts:
- Building with function and form
- Advanced gear ratios
- Power Distribution
- Sensors
- Programming - Autonomous Mode
