Micromouse “Autonomouse” robot that solves a maze in the fastest time possible. International Many different types of mice. Great Fun!!

Our Mouse Side Sensors (Distance Sensors) Stepper Motors Rabbit Processor Nice Wheels Cool Chips… a lot of SMD. SUPER SMALL!!

Analog to Digital Mux

The Sensors Sharp Distance measuring sensors

Sensor Placement 4 sensors-total 2 front-facing 2 side-facing “I can’t believe its not Buddy!”

Timeline Feb. 18 Finish prototype chassis Feb. 20 – Finish Printing Circuits Feb. 22 – Finish creating Circuits Feb. 29 – Complete Final Chassis Mar. 7 – Forward movement of mouse…its alive Mar. 13 – Finish Debugging of forward movement Mar. 20 – Finish Solving Code and turns

Timeline 2 Mar – Spring Break!! – work on debugging more. Apr. 10 – KILL AT THE MINI COMPETITION DESTROY ALL OTHER COLLEGES AT THE REGIONAL COMPETITION

Potential Problems “With me in charge, there won’t be any problems…” -Grant Higa “With me programming, I can make anything possible!” -Riley Ceria “Let’s make the chassis out of meat and butter!” -Jeong Bang

More Potential Problems Overconfidence Chassis material (Bright Incandescent lights may melt the butter holding the meat together) Sensor calibration Dynamic C syntax Arguments over who gets to eat the mouse at the end

Goals Build a working mouse and win regions Do 45’s Be able to compete on the international level at some point in the future
