Micromouse
Micromouse is actually a miniature Robot controlled by a Microcontroller.
The mouse has to find its way through
an arbitrary maze. It competes with
other mice to see which one finds the center of the maze within
the least amount of time. The Micro Mouse competition is held
once a year in Spring around April It includes a design contest,
a paper contest and Micro Mouse. Students can enter the competition
individually or with a group.Participants are required to be
members of IEEE.
Mark Miliano, the Micro Mouse officer and the
instructor of ECE191 (Micro
Mouse design & construction), says he would recommend
students who are interested in Micro Mouse to take ECE186 and
ECE285. However, those two courses are not necessary as long
as they can build a Micro Mouse by using the knowledge they
have. Here is the picture of Mark Millano's Micromouse.
