What is Micromouse?


Micromouse is a robotics competition hosted by IEEE in which students design, develop, and program a robotic mouse to autonomously navigate a maze. Though it may sound simple, this challenge demands exceptional problem-solving skills as you put your classroom knowledge to the test in a real-world scenario!

If you choose to join micromouse, there will be:

  • A group of 1-3 students in your team
  • Weekly meetings to give announcements and lectures
  • Build sessions for more focused help
  • A choice to participate in the Micromouse competition at the end of the year

Why should you join?


    Micromouse is a project that provides UCI engineers and programmers the opportunity to gain relevant hands-on experience that they would otherwise not receive in a classroom environment. The Micromouse project will teach students about embedded topics including circuit/PCB design, STM32 programming, pathfinding algorithms, and hardware/software debugging, all skills that will benefit you in the future.
