Over the past few years, the Robotics Crew has been working on building and improving upon a maze-solving “micromouse” robot to compete in IEEE Micromouse competitions. We were able to host and win the competition in the Spring of 2022, due to the significant improvements to the hardware with a custom PCB and software with “lane assistance” using a PID controller. However, the micromouse robot was still unable to completely solve the maze due to remaining limitations in hardware and software – “distance control” and maze-solving, respectively. Thus, we dedicated this year to creating a distance control and maze-solving algorithm, as well as constructing a maze to both test the robot and host competitions in the future. We solved the issue of distance control with a software solution called “dead-end compensation” – using IR sensor readings to correct the distance error accumulation. We implemented the FloodFill algorithm for maze-solving, building onto the implementation of the Piccola team. Finally, we constructed the maze with the help of the MakerWeb, using UCSD’s existing blueprints of maze bases, walls, and corner posts.
