[Robotgroup] Fwd: [DPRG] Micromouse

[Doug Evans]

Don't know a thing, so I'm not frightened by the state of the art :)

Doing some research, though. Interesting problem, not the least of which is
simply navigating the maze and locating the center (much less speed runs and
super-aggressive maze solving algorithms).

As someone else on the list pointed out, don't be frightened off by the
Japanese guys. For the inaugural competition at Seattle Robothon, the winner
is likely to be the *one* mouse that actually completes the maze and finds
the center, without getting stuck or bursting into flame.

Anybody else interested? Might be nice to pool research and perhaps
resources.

Doug,

Sure would be cool to try, but the state of the art is really advanced. Do
you know anything about them?

That micromouse is incredibly fast <8 seconds in the speed run! I wonder how
they manage to run the stairstep/zig-zag pattern so quickly without hitting
anything. Any ideas? Inertial navigation/gyros?

Saw this on the DPRG list.  Cool video of the Japan MIcro Mouse contest.
