hi florence!

tell me one thing, how the robor goes to the center, he previously know the dimensions of the map and calculates the center ? i worked in a similar project but in the center there was a infra-red emiter!

[plflorence]

it's plflorence lol

or you can call me plf in short..... that's the name I've been using for years lol

anyways, there is no IR emitter in the center for this project. However, we have IR sensors on our mouse, which allow us to know the placement of walls around the mouse for every square that it passes.

[plflorence]

as the mouse goes through the maze trying to find the goal, it will store the information of where the walls are, and calculate the fastest path out of it. Then it will go back to the start and start with the fastest path that it calculated, and return back to the start, as you can see =)

thanks! yeah they're not the greatest motors.... we have a tight budget. They're servos that are modified for continuous rotation. What you're seeing has no encoders at all....

Nice run. Grate control on what sounds like very nasty motors
