Half-Sized Micromouse

Half Sized micromouse is a new catagory other than classic full size micromouse.

The length and width for cell is half size of a full size maze, however, the total size for the maze remains the same, which means instead of 16x16 cells for classic micromouse, a half sized micromouse maze will be have 32x32 cells. This is much harder to build the robot in a smaller size besides the search process takes much longer time.

It's also extremely hard to put all components into such a small PCB

It's finally assembled and be able to run in a full size maze(since I don't have have half size maze yet)

I believe this is the first working half size micromouse ever in United States

==================  design stage  ===================

determine the specs

Tried to print about demo parts for motor/encoder mount with makerbot for demo purpose
