The MicroMouse competition is a design contest that brings together mechanical design, electrical design, controls, and programming with the purpose of building a maze solving robot.
The contest itself has a 30 year history which is discussed briefly in the "History" section.
The rules for MicroMouse have been stable since the contest's inception and they are discussed in detail under the "Rules" section.
MicroMouse competitions are held all over the world for every age category and level of education. Some of the bigger competitions and the ones most pertinent to UAF students are discussed under "Competitions."
Finally, the "Examples / Links" section shows some outstanding mice that have dominated national and worlds competitions as well as some designs from college and high school level contests. Some of the links that I've found useful when building a mouse are included also.
