Over the past weeks, our team of five worked hand-in-hand to transform an idea into a fully functional robot. Every step โ from concept and CAD design, to 3D printing, PCB development, and system integration โ was a lesson in engineering, creativity, and teamwork.
โ๏ธ Our Micromouse at a glance:
Compact & lightweight 3D-printed body (10.3 ร 10.2 ร 5.8 cm)
ESP32 microcontroller as the brain
N20 motors with encoders for precise navigation
IR sensors for maze detection
MPU6050 for motion control
TP6612FNG motor driver
Mini buck converter for efficient power regulation
Custom PCB designed with a 12V supply: stepped down to 4.4V for ESP32, while feeding motors directly at 12V, supported by a ground plane for stable performance.
This project was more than just assembling components โ it was about solving problems, iterating designs, and aligning five minds towards one goal. Weโve built something small in size but big in the skills and insights it gave us.
๐ฅ Now, weโre ready to put our Micromouse to the test in the maze and see it in action!
Grateful for this journey and for my amazing teammates: Ibrahim Nour Eldin ,mohamed mahmoud el-sayed, Yusuf Yasser, Rahma Qandeel
