1. members: Yamamoto, Jamie- Programming (Leader) Ganiban, Aurelio- Design/Construction Yatogo, Radd- Programming/Scribe Kohatsu, Troy- Design/Construction team

2. team objectives Innovative Design/Construction skills Problem Solve/ Improvise Collaboration /Cooperation /Communication Dedication Meet Deadlines Learning Experience/Fun Experience Completion

3. project overview Design and construct a working device called a μ -mouse that will fulfill the following requirements and specifications: Self Contained Navigate through an unknown maze Know its origin and destination Determine shortest path from origin to destination Complete “shortest path” run within 10min. No larger in dimension of 25cm x 25cm x ∞

4. project objective Innovate a new approach Maintain design and construction within the given specifications Construct a competitive mouse that will dominate in a fashionable manner Fulfill the EE296 project tasks and requirements

5. the plan Suitable Algorithm prior to anything Project Breakdown: - programming and construction (simultaneously) A compromised design layout: - hand in hand with each sub-team - lightweight, fast, efficient, durable, appealing - incorporate new ideas, tech., and materials Give time for Testing/Debugging Win

6. problems Approach leads to a dead end Missing steps in algorithm Debugging Over budget Delay of subtask Deadline extensions
