Robotics Crew at Union College

For the last five years, the Union College Robotics Crew has been participating in annual “micromouse” competitions, where robots use autonomous navigation to find their way through a maze. Using sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and mechanical structures, students design and program their robots to navigate through a random maze in a timed race. In the micromouse competition, teams are given 12 minutes for their robot to traverse from the starting point to the center of an approximately 9’ x 9’ maze.
