Micromouse - 2007

This was my second attempt to make a Micromouse. I made this to participate in Micromouse competition during Techfest at IIT - Bombay.

Technical Specifications:

A pair of Stepper motors (12 V, 1 Amp).
A pair of L293D for driving Stepper Motors in Bipolar mode (gives more torque).
Three IR LED & photodiode pair as sensors to detect the wall and measure the distance of the wall from Micromouse.
Software implemented Proportional Derivative (PD) controller for proper steering of the Robot in between the walls.
Three Li-Ion Batteries of 1600 mAH.
Inspace integrated turns.
Floodfill algorithm to solve the maze.

Achievements :

Won 2nd prize in Micromouse contest during National Level Autonomous Robotics Competition at Anna University, Chennai.
Qualified for Finals (lessthan 20 qualified in total) in Micromouse contest during Techfest'07 an International Autonomous Robotics Competition at IIT - Bombay.
