We are getting close to the end of the project and after coding for the micromouse to follow obstacle avoidance and a white line . We noticed the micromouse was still not moving as planned so we had to a number of testing for the infrared sensors and for the input signals as well, there was a lot of soldering and re-soldering on the PCB, the infrared sensors and the white line circuit. It did take a while to find the error as there were many little errors on the PCB, the signals on the board for the motor and the sensors, but we were able to get them fixed luckily with the help of our technicians and Dr Timothy Davies. Also this month we finished the solidworks for our shell and we sent it for printing with the 3d machine. We are kind of in a rush to complete the micromouse as we want it to be good at combat and we are yet to conclude our special feature, so hopefully we finish it all before the trip to Greygnog. See you next month, Thanks for reading

For a majority of this month I worked on the SOLIDWORKS design. This has been challenging to do as I have struggled with the software and have been watching a lot of videos and tutorials to help. Although it has been difficult I have enjoyed the challenge of working with the software. I am now going to be working on the presentation and general improvements to the documentation we have. Also this month the team has done a lot of troubleshooting and have managed to get the white line following and obstacle avoidance working well. We still have the combat and special feature to complete which are our targets for the next month and we hope to have them all finished by the time we get to Gregynog.
