I think the most technically impressive one was the one with the built-in camera which used images taken from several angles to find the most efficient route to center.
I would like to see a micromouse spilt into 2 or more sub mouse to explore the maze faster by communication their discoveries with each other, and then work together to get all mouse to the finish goal
I wondered why it seemed the 'fast version' of each run was counted as points... not necessarily (or entirely) the first slower run... then I realised that the mouse was learning the maze, and as it made it's initial way back from the center, it was trying to find an alternative faster route! So the initial slower run wasn't necessarily the same route as the second faster one... That was pretty interesting to me!
because the best score = current run time + (past maze time /30) + possible penalty. Therefore the best score is likely to be the first speed run without touch penalty.
the way these comps work i think, is that the first run is used to 'learn' the maze, then the second run is all about speed. the problem with the camera bot, is that is as fast as it goes. all the others went much faster on their second run.
Just before this video, I watched one from Japan. It finished in 7+secs. You barely see the micromouse ... it is like 1/3 the size of the "micromouses" in this video.
I liked the super efficient and messy one that kept beeping while running into walls. I was still programmed better in the sense that it knew the end point. It was also SUPER FAST. In my opinion the ones that do not know the end point need work to be perfect.
fascinating competition, I loved seeing the bots that were just complete speed demons. The camera bot is cool but all that extra weight really lowers his overall agility.
Telescoping camera bot should have been ranked higher but I guess they don't want bots hacking the map by getting a spectators view on their own. I mean what's next, drone air support? OMG that sounds great!
How he identifies that arrived at the destination? Usually at the start and destination there are sensors, but for the time tagging. I could not identify how the micro mouse identifies that arrived at the destination.
+Fabio Alexandre Muller there is a sensor at the entering of the center, hiding in the post. I forgot if the center sensor is battery supplied or hidden wiring under the maze.
+Green ye Thank you for your answer. You know what type of sensor is, and how it communicates with the micromouse to report that he arrived at the destination?
+Fabio Alexandre Muller it doesn't communicate with the mouse. it connects to the computer that controlled by the staff to the front. if you want more detail about the sensor, please contact Mr David Otten. You can find his email at APEC micromouse site.
I wonder why some robots would pass up the first right turn @13:11 but then successfully hit the second right @13:19, instead of going to the end of the hall and going around the corner?
they are not allowed to reprogram the mouse. no one knows the path before search. The camera one took a picture of the maze and did some image processing.
As far as I know fastest run from start to finish. They have a set amount of time for exploring and trying to finish as fast as possible. Or they have two runs were the first is just for exploring and the second is for taking the time.
The injectifier in the trombolinier with subfractors interdispersed throughout the varience of the quadmidifier for the 4th mouse (mus) , should invariably, by a common denominator, besmurchified the overkinetic significance between the trachiadacotimer upon the 4th power without significance, unless, of course, it is without the partisimonly. Almost every time. I was wrong once, but then I was mistaken.
You forgot the redundance of the post gradient analytic synopsis: the polarization of the over-clip has more significance, if you consider the partial predominance in the structural framing... geez
dario il diario , no, no, no. You can't have it both ways. This has been proven time and time again. The under/over psumpler, the p is silent, is in contrast to the polarization magnums by 30. It's been proven. SMH. I thought everybody knew that.
Each mouse is given two runs. The first run the mouse is learning the course from start to finish and storing that information in its memory. The second run is after it had learned from the first run, only without the wrong turns and dead ends, because it corrected those, and or deleted those wrong turns and dead ends from its first run.
PSC Zemark556 I guess you're thinking slavery. Common people would assume that, but for others like smart kids to unlock their potential they would usually need money that their parents cant provide
How the hell did the one with the extendable camera and the computer vision and the insane processing power lose? It went straight to the center of the maze perfectly, first try!!! The others may have been faster but they took multiple tries!! That doesn't count for x4 points or something?
the first try for every participant was to explore the maze ... the participants maybe were allowed multiple tries but the fastest micromouse to the center wins p.s. sorry for foul english
Actually it was programmed to have a right turn as the first option in an intersection . Thats why it took the first right and u can confirm it later when another intersection comes.
