Micromouse

Micromouse Challenge — Navigate the Maze, Beat the Clock

Build an autonomous robot that can map and solve a 10×10 grid maze on its own — no remote control, no manual input. Just your bot, its sensors, and its code against the clock.

Format

• Maze: 6.5 ft × 6.5 ft, 10×10 grid, 198mm cells

• Path width: 192mm | Wall height: 100mm

• Each robot gets multiple runs within a fixed time window — a search run to map the maze, followed by speed run(s) on the mapped route

• Your fastest successful run determines your rank

Eligibility

• Open to individuals and teams of 2-5

• Robot must be self-built and self-navigating — fully autonomous once released at the start cell

• Robot must fit within a 19×19 cm bounding box and stay under 90mm in height

Rules

• No manual or remote control once a run begins

• No external positioning aids (e.g., overhead cameras directing the robot)

• Robot must stay within the maze path at all times — no jumping, flying, or climbing over walls

• Any wall collision incurs a time penalty; repeated or damaging collisions may disqualify the run

• Robots are subject to inspection before competing

Process

• Register your team and robot details

• Report for inspection on competition day

• Compete in your allotted run slots (search + speed runs)

• Fastest valid completion time wins

Safety

• All robots must have an accessible power switch

• LiPo batteries must be declared and transported in fire-resistant cases
