to mark as completed Simple maze solving robot...
(Sorry for my english...) This is a simple maze solving robot that I made for an internal robotics competition on my university.
The maze was made with white lines on a black surface, and the robot must find the exit avoiding some obstacles (cubes of wood). If the robot detect an obstacle, it must turn back and recalculate a new way for find the exit.
The maze is previously known before the competitions start.
Some materials:
- 6mm acrylic.
- Black paint and foam.
- 2 DC motors (recycled from 2 HP printers).
- 2 wheels (rollers from printers).
- 1 PIC18F2550
- 1A dual DC motor driver
- 11.1V 1500mAh LiPo Battery.
