Our team of 8 designed and built two micromice for the competition at IIT Bombay—one with encoded motors and another with stepper motors. Both utilized infrared sensors. Using the flood-fill algorithm for maze solving, we secured 5th place.

Challenges Faced

  • Implementing the flood-fill algorithm for efficient maze navigation.
  • Calibrating encoded and stepper motors for precise movements.
  • Synchronizing team efforts to design, test, and refine both robots.
