Special Features of the Micromouse Bot

1. Testing Functionality in Code
   • Allows pre-run checks of key systems including:
     • White line sensors (Values and Thresholds)
     • Ultrasonic sensors (distance measurement)
     • IR sensors
     • Touch bars
     • Both Wheels (Forwards and Backwards)
     • LCD screen
   • Ensures all sensors are functional before operation.
2. Calibration Feature
   • Automatically calculated the optimal threshold values.
   • Ensures sensors like white line detectors and ultrasonic sensors operate with the best accuracy.
   • Improves reliability by tailoring settings to actual conditions.
3. Ultrasonic Sensors (Advanced Obstacle Detection)
   • Replaces front IR sensors.
   • Overcomes IR’s limitation in detecting black surfaces.
   • Improves object detection and control, especially in combat mode.
   • Better for adjusting range of detection.
4. PID Controller Integration
   • Enhances wheel and ultrasonic sensor calibration.
   • Contributes to more accurate movement, white line following, enemy tracking and obstacle avoidance.
   • Essential for precise adjustments in speed and direction.
5. LCD Display with Mode Switching
   • Displays active modes and sensor values.
   • Allows dynamic switching between functionalities like line following and combat.
   • Increases user interaction and diagnostics capability.
