i think their stopwatch is damaged, or they started the timer 2 mins 50 secs too late. fail, still 1 cool mouse tho!

@Azzmatazza The target is the large square at the centre, the 12.8 is the fastest time from the start square to the centre; it makes several runs getting faster each time

[ld0ne]

how can you say 12.8 seconds the video is 2:50 long and he never got out

[derekchall]

@ld0ne The time is the fastest run from the start to the centre(the large open square in the middle of the maze) once it has gathered enough information about the location of the walls it can calculate the fastest way from start to end.

Can it track where it has been?

[derekchall]

Yes

if u noticed the micromouse was going faster at the end i think it was getting pissed off

[hisammi321]

Wow is it a real mouse.? If it is then nice driving!

[assa6699]

STUPID MOUSE..hehehe

[Marcin6313]

Does it map the maze first, then runs the fastest route to the destination?

[RatHelper2000]

it would be cooler if it was a REAL mouse!!!

[Eukalyptos18]

@kikiaura No. I think the trick is, that this "mouse" is going through this maze slowly at first to "learn" how the maze looks like. After that, it saved the plan of the map and knew where to go. That's really awesome. It won't need remote controll, it's doing this all by itself.

[kikiaura]

is it remote controlled?

[Trollingwithmyhomies]

@Azzmatazza lick my cornhole

[Azzmatazza]

Ok so it gets faster cos it learns where to go but it's a robot, it's made to do it
