Proposal PresentationEE 396 – MicromouseSpring 2008Saturday, February 9, 2008Donald Kim Lab - POST 214
Team Mighty Mouse • Mark Fujihara • Team Leader, Hardware Designer • Bryant Komo • Hardware Designer • David Ota • Programmer
Project Overview Build an autonomous robot mouse that can find the center of a 16 x 16 maze, then calculate the shortest/fastest path to the center and make multiple runs.
Our Approach • Hardware • Side looking sensors • Unipolar/Bipolar stepper motors • Printed circuit board • Software • Flood Fill Algorithm • Solving Algorithm • Mapping Code • Sensing & Movement Code
Potential Problems • Hardware • Etching the circuit board • Finding a balance between stability and weight for the chassis • Software • Mapping • Solving Algorithm • Other • Staying within budget • Staying on track and finishing on time
What we expect to learn… • How to work in a team • How to follow a budget • How to etch a circuit board • How to apply our knowledge and skills to a real life situation: • Programming (algorithms, mapping, movement) • Circuit building • Debugging circuits and programs • Learning from past mistakes doing Micromouse
Team Goals • Implement the side looking sensor technology • Build a mouse that can efficiently find the center of any maze • Follow the flood fill algorithm • Map the maze • Solve the maze • Make 45° turns • Bring a mouse to the mainland and win!
Proposed Schedule • Gantt Chart
