Our Initial Goals
• To find the center of a 16x16 maze and the shortest path to the center
• To apply our acquired engineering knowledge to this project
• To gain experience working as a team• To follow our schedule• To make new friends (on the Mainland)

Features
• Side sensor design (4)• Two wheeled mouse• Circuit construction by etching rather
than free wires (Printed Circuit Board)
• Sliders on the bottom of our chassis for balance
• 16V source (two batteries)

New PCB Design
![Page 16: Final Presentation Micromouse Spring 08 8” Comb.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050909/5697bf821a28abf838c85b08/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Problems
• Wiring on PCB was too thin– Could not handle current that ran
through 16V lines and some wiring came loose from the board
• Some chips did not work properly– ADC gave 4 outputs rather than 8
outputs (4 Most Significant Bits)– Soldered in a defective motor driver to
PCB (worked when we tested it)

More Problems
• Rabbit– Wired Rabbit up incorrectly
• Mixed up ports
– Blew out Rabbit

Resulting Changes
• PCB Board– Soldered wires in parallel to wires connected to
16V lines and ground• ADC
– Took the 4 outputs and disregarded the rest (The MSBs became our LSBs)
• Motor Driver– Used our spare PCB– Tested all motor drivers to see which worked
• Rabbit– Wired to correct ports

Future Improvements/Suggestions
• Use chip holders instead of soldering chips straight into the board
• Make thicker wires on PCB• Check to see if all chips get the right
amount of voltages (Be more careful)
