Reflection on Sustainability in Design
Sustainability was a central theme in our design phase, influencing every decision made. During different operational phases of the micro mouse, such as obstacle avoidance, line following, and combat, we strategically adjusted motor speeds to optimize power consumption. This approach not only saved energy but also extended the operational life of our components. Reflecting on our process, we recognized that avoiding premature component reprints, particularly PCBs, due to initial design oversights, would further bolster our sustainability efforts. Learning from these experiences, we are refining our design processes to enhance efficiency and sustainability in future projects.
Website Maintenance Plan
The maintenance of our project website is a critical component of our sustainability strategy. By ensuring the website is regularly updated and optimized, we maintain its efficiency and relevance throughout the assessment period. This proactive approach reduces the need for resource-intensive overhauls and aligns with our goal to minimize our digital footprint. The website acts as a dynamic resource for project updates, reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
