MicroMouse Proposal Presentation Team: Amaze Me

Introduction Members and roles Brandon Gibu Brandon Gibu Updating webpage Ah Ram Kim Ah Ram Kim Contacting and updating members with news John-Kalani Miyajima John-Kalani Miyajima Working with Powerpoint presentations Justin Ogata Justin Ogata Updating final report

Topics of Presentation Overview of Project Design Approach Potential Problems What we expect to learn Deliverable Goals Proposed Schedule

Overview MicroMouse Autonomous robot Autonomous robot Find center of a 16 x 16 maze Find center of a 16 x 16 maze Uses tracking program to keep track of location of maze Uses tracking program to keep track of location of maze Continues to search until it finds the fastest path to center Continues to search until it finds the fastest path to center

Approach Use tutorials to help construct hardware to build mouse Calculate rotations needed to move wheels Create tracking software to find fastest route to center

Potential Problems Not having enough parts Design to fit in maze Incorrect calculations for turning of wheels Creating a program to track exactly where it has been No prior experience with MicroMouse

What we expect to learn How to create an autonomous robot How to use the rabbit microcontroller to drive robot How to solve an engineering project related to future work

Deliverable Goals Have our mouse move straight and make turns without crashing Track for a short distance Find center at least once this semester

Proposed Schedule Meet at least once weekly Update website weekly By February: Design and build mouse Have a mouse set up by first mini- competition By April: Improve coding Have a ready mouse by second mini- competition
