Abstract
The original micromouse competition in which miniature robots
compete for the title of best speed and intelligence was first started
around 1978. Over the years it became one of the few student
competitions among engineering schools around the world. Nevertheless,
the participation rate had never reached a significant level.
Furthermore, since the competition's debut, no major changes on the game
rules which were designed around the technology almost 20 years ago had
been made. In this paper an updated micromouse competition is proposed.
The updated game is designed to achieve the following goals: (1)
Generating high participation rate from engineering students; (2)
Promoting multidisciplinary undergraduate engineering activities; (3)
Encouraging the use of current technologies; (4) Lowering the overall
costs an managing the competition by engineering schools and on building
the micromouse by students. This paper presents an updated micromouse
game plan and competition rules. A micromouse design example developed
at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) for the new game is
also included
