Arr 4 Robotic Dead-Reckoning Maze Solver - George School 08

For their winter term exam, several of my Arrangement 4 Computer Programming & Robotics students (Kuei-Cheng "Timothy" Hsiang, Leo Wang, and Gyeong Eun Lee) have programmed their Mouse robot to navigate a simple maze. This robot is not autonomous (yet), but used "dead reckoning" to navigate the course. (That is, the robot is not capable of making its own intelligent decisions.) The goal: navigate from one end of the maze to the other without hitting the walls.

Robodyssey Systems manufactures the Mouse robot and RAMB II motherboard you see here. The robot's brain is NetMedia's BX-24 microcontroller, which is programmed using the BasicX language. I am the author of the world's only BasicX textbook; if you are interested in learning how to program your own robot, see my website at www.basicxandrobotics.com.
