Taiwan 2011 micromouse contest videos
The Taiwan 2011 Micromouse and intelligent Robots Contest was a great success. Our primary contest organiser Juing-Huei Su has evidently been busy with the vido editing software as he has now uploaded the contest videos…

Taiwan Micromouse 2010
On October 2nd, the 2010 Taiwan micromouse contest was held at Southern Taiwan University.
The hosts took first and second prize in the micromouse contest with Lung Hwa University taking third place along with first and third in the robotrace line follower contest.
For a more complete report from Juing-Huei, of Lung Hwa, have a look here:

The line follower track looks suitably challenging. Ng Beng Kiat now has at least one four-wjeel mouse. The Japan contest next month is going to be really interesting. I have no doubt there will be a lot of four-wheel entries.
Taiwan Micromouse contest 2009 Monday
Monday was our tourist day. The pressures of the competition were behind us and we could relax a bit while discovering more about Taiwan. The idea was that we would get the non-tourist tour of this part of the island. Taiwan is more than large enough to occupy any tourist for a good amount of time so this was always going to be a bit of a whistle-stop tour. Nonetheless, we got to visit some fascinating places and I would very much like to be able to go back and spend some more time in some of them. Continue reading

Taiwan Micromouse contest 2009 Sunday
Sunday – the big day. Saturday had given me a good opportunity to meet a few people, see the venue and get my mouse adjusted for the local maze conditions but this was it – competition day. We got off to an early start today. Breakfast was at 06:30 and I went down to be confronted with a huge variety of interesting option. I was told later that many of the things I chose were pickles rather than actual dishes so I had to go back and get some more. As it turns out, food was to play a big part in the day’s activities.

Taiwan Micromouse contest 2009 Saturday
It took nearly 24 hours to get here but it has been worth the effort. The 2009 Taiwan Micromouse and Intelligent Robot contest starts tomorrow morning – September 19th. The venue is very good with a clear view for all the spectators and some excellent facilities for the competitors. As well as the local competition, there is an invited international event toward the end of the day. Competing here will be Ng Beng Kiat, Dave Otten, Fumitama Nakashima, Yusuke Kato and me….
Testing so far has not gone too well with Decimus having trouble with some of the corners. As far as I can tell, the walls are giving perfectly reasonable responses although I can see as much as 10% variation in reflectivity along a given wall. While this can affect the steering – especially as my steering is not very sophisticated – it should not affect the forward error corrections that determine whether or not the mouse can get around a corner reliably.
Well, we shall see what the morning brings. Here is a picture of the competition arena today. Photo quality is not too good as my luggage went to a different place from me and I only had the iPhone camera with me.
Update: Luggage arrived at 10pm on the Saturday evening – much to my relief.
