Sustainability is an important aspect of Electrical Engineering, this is why when designing the circuity of our micromouse we looked to be as sustainable as possible. One step that was taken was to use only one PCB which contained both the circuitry of our IR sensors and our special feature. This helped to reduce the overall amount of resources that we used for our Micromouse. Another way we tried to make our more sustainable was by reusing components from our demo breadboards, these included the circuits for the white line sensors and IR sensors.
After we have finished with our micromouse, it should be dismantled rather than it being thrown out. There are several parts that can be reused such as the resistors, LEDs, motors, wires and brackets and screws. Re-using reduces the need for new resources and it extended the life of already existing components.
