The aim of the SEARCC Micromouse Competition, inaugurated during the SEARCC96 Conference, is to expose our youth and the general public to automation and robotics in a way that is both fun and easy to relate to. It is hoped that this will assist in developing an automation culture in the SEARCC member countries. The objective of the competition is to build a Micromouse, a small microprocessor-controlled robot vehicle that is able to navigate its way through an unknown maze. It searches for the quickest path from the start to destination points in the maze, then negotiates the path in the shortest possible time.
Each SEARCC country will be allowed to send a maximum of two (2) teams with one (1) chaperone. Each team may consist of up to two (2) students.
Registration must be done through their respective countryÂ’s Computer Society, from where it will be forwarded to the host Member Society for the SEARCC Conference.
Students must be under twenty-three (23) years of age on 1st January of the year in which the Competition is held.
