Hi guys, any of you heading of to the Micromouse competition Birmingham UK this saturday (11th June)? I was building a mouse to enter but unfortunatly things ran a bit late and not going to be complete this year. Anyway just woundering if anyone else will be going?

 

unfortunaly i cant come exams !

lol, shame its scheduled for A-Level exam season! (it does not clash with and exam BUT its the 6:30 train to london i dont fancy and i have an exam the day before so cannot travel out)

Anyhow, next year its at Royal Holloway, only have to get the 7:43. lol.

 

hey am a newcomew need help with my robotics project. i am building an arm that can pick up and transport objects from one place to anther. am a total novice. need help with both sware and hrdwre..plz help me out

 

Does not sound like it if you do not know how to do this simple project, you should grade your self as a beginner.

Also great spelling
A++

Sorry guys, I know you are supposed to post constructive comments on this site, and I promise this will be my last non-constructive one - although I do feel they are a little more constructive than our good friend Mr Roboticinfo. The fact is you should never have a go at other people when you are not that bright yourself.

Anyway, talking of spelling mistakes, here's a few classics I found earlier:

(what on earth???)

Cheers. Next posting will be constructive - I promise.

 

lol, that was a nice one pommie,

No it wasn't Pommie. A guy at work showed me this site and I thought I'd take a look. Don't have a lot of knowledge electronics wise, but it looks like I'm not the only one. So is anybody going to help this guy out? (neel_19841984) I'd like to see what useful information my "alterego" can come up with.

Cheers.

To tell you the truth I hate micromouse, I do not see it being that fun.
I like to make robots that look like a charachter like Rodney

http://www.fuzzgun.btinternet.co.uk/rodney/rodney.htm

Other robots like that are boring
even my sumo bots had style on the body
you can see one of my sumo bots on the net but not if you are a 56ker.
It is a video of my at RoboGames 2005
I live extremly close like about 10mins to 5mins away from my home.

Sorry about pics cause you really want to see them but I am to busy with the shed and paying of my tools and my help.

I have to wait till my friend comes back from his trip and till I
have time.

I have spent all of my college money on this online business so I hope it pays off.

Well i see micromouse as a challenge rather than just a hobby. The challenge of getting a imperfect robot to work in a near perfect maze seems silly right? BUT when u see the sort of engineering and programming needed to achieve even a regular mouse you will not see it as silly.

Basically its a competition where robots can be built and compete aginst one another while keeping a certain community. A sumo builder will not give away his secrets to winning as it could mean he loses, but at anual micromouse meetings we get together and talk about problems, how to solve them and watch vidioes in aw as the Jap's beat anyone who thinks they can beat them.

World class mice can run a maze in less than 10 seconds, has sumo's ever had to consider aero dynamics, processing power, sensory input, naviagational telemetry and the holy gail of solving a expertly planned maze?

hehe, well i am a tad bia'ed
