IR Circuit Complete!!!!

After weeks of relentless effort and overcoming numerous challenges we have officially completed the construction of our highly complex Infrared (IR) circuit. This achievement marks a significant milestone of our micro-mouse project, as the IR circuit functions as the “eyes” of the micro-mouse , enabling it to detect and avoid obstacles with precision.

The task was no small feat. With 42 distinct components to assemble, we encountered several hurdles along the way. When issues arose, identifying the source of the problem proved particularly difficult, often necessitating the complete rebuilding of the circuit. These setbacks tested the team’s patience and technical skills, yet we persevered.

This project was a true test of resilience and teamwork , each failure only strengthened our determination to find solutions and improve.”

The successful completion of the IR circuit shows Team Echo’s resilience and the will to solve problems. With the IR circuit in place, we are one step closer to archiving a fully functional Micro-mouse.
