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

Potential Problems  Problems with code  Incorrect circuit  Faulty equipment  Inefficient power source

Learning Expectancies  Debugging skills  Circuit troubleshooting skills  Designing skills  Programming skills

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

Proposed Schedule  Design Chassis: Feb 5 – 12  Constructing chassis: Feb 5 – 7  Testing and debugging with motor: Feb 8 – 12  Designing C Code: Feb 13 – 26  Design code: Feb  Testing and Debugging: Feb  Sensor Layout: Feb 27 – Mar 1  Testing, Debugging, and Redesigning: Mar 2 - ?
