Micromouse Maze Competition

What is the goal of the Micromouse Maze Competition?

• To solve the maze as fast as possible

• To find the shortest path through the maze

• To build the smallest robot mouse

• To create a fully autonomous robot

What is the purpose of the flood fill algorithm in Micromouse?

• To find the shortest path through the maze

• To search the entire maze for possible paths

• To optimize the speed of the robot mouse

• To avoid obstacles in the maze

What innovation did Mitee Mouse 3 introduce to Micromouse?

• Diagonal movements

• Faster motors

• Gyroscopes for orientation

• Continuous DC motors

Why are diagonals a challenge for Micromice?

• They require a different algorithm for turning

• They increase the risk of crashes

• They make the maze more complex

• They require additional sensors

What is the advantage of using continuous DC motors in Micromice?

• They provide more power for less size and weight

• They allow for precise movements

• They eliminate the need for encoders

• They improve the accuracy of the robot mouse

What is the purpose of gyroscopes in Micromice?

• To find the walls in the maze

• To provide feedback on the motor

• To determine the orientation of the mouse

• To optimize the speed of the mouse

What is the main challenge in the Micromouse Maze Competition?

• Finding the shortest path through the maze

• Building the smallest robot mouse

• Avoiding crashes in the maze

• Optimizing the speed of the robot mouse

What is the significance of the Red Comet mouse in the competition?

• It found a longer but faster path to the goal

• It had the fastest run time in the competition

• It introduced a new search algorithm

• It won by a narrow margin

What is the purpose of the flood fill algorithm in Micromouse?

• To find the shortest path through the maze

• To search the entire maze for possible paths

• To optimize the speed of the robot mouse

• To avoid obstacles in the maze

What is the main limitation of the flood fill algorithm in Micromouse?
