THE WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY BEING RE-ORGANISED.
SOME FEATURES MAY BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE (28 January 2006)

VINEE Micromouse 2 (09 April 2004)
===========================

Introduction:

- Design of VINEE Micromouse 2 is underway. 
- VINEE 2 will be a maze solver, as was VINEE 1, but with some improvements.
Features:

- DC motors instead of stepper motors, for increased energy efficiency and performance.
- Improved sensors, with greater resolution, for better guidance.
- Onboard LCD display, for test purposes.
- In circuit programming of the PIC (PIC16F8xx) microcontrollers.
- Onboard charging circuit for the Ni-MH cells.
- Improved algorithm.
MicroMaze 0.0.1b (07 April 2004)
===========================

Introduction:

- MicroMaze is a program for simulating maze solving algorithms for Micromouse.
- The simulation software is written in Microsoft Visual C++.
- Currently the program is under development, and will run on Windows 95/98/NT/2K/XP only.
- A port for the Linux operating system has not been planned.
Features:

- Onscreen visual analysis of algorithm operation.
- Statistical analysis of proposed algorithm versus other algorithms stored in the library.   
- Generation of standard mazes by arrangement of graphical templates, or using a text editor 
  (existing mazes, used in previous competitions, may also be used). 
- Simulation of established algorithms, contained in the library, or new algorithms by creating a
  new .hpp file, or modifying one of the existing .hpp files ;)
