3. 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

4. Overall Design  Traditional top down style mouse  Implementing infrared sensors  Implementing stepper motors  Making mouse a wall hugger

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

6. Structure of Mouse Front Sensor Right Sensor

7. Structure of Mouse Front Sensor Right Sensor

8. Design Decisions  Right wall hugger  Go straight while front sensor is false and right sensor is true  Turn right when right sensor is false  Turn left when right sensor and front sensor are true  Tracking  When left sensor is off, speed up left wheel (adjust right)  When right sensor is off, speed up right wheel (adjust left)

10. Problems  Incorrect circuit  Rewired the circuit  Faulty equipment  LEDs  Rabbit  Mosfets  Sensors  Code  Tracking

11. Suggestions  Don’t fry the Rabbit  Recheck circuit before soldering  Check circuit before hooking up to power supply  Cover exposed wires  Finish hardware quickly

12. Future Improvements  Organization of wires  Printed circuit board  Complex algorithm utilizing more sensors  Find center faster  Track efficiently  Easier adjustment of parts  Sensors  Chassis  Batteries
