Being an engineer in this day and age requires a more a mind that is not only open to ideas, but one that is also environmentally aware. From the standpoint of team golf, are very serious when it comes to sustainability and the environment and we strive to create a micromouse that is environmentally friendly
Ethical considerations in the development of autonomous vehicles are crucial, especially when faced with potential flaws the could endanger lives. Our responsibilities are guided by the IET’s rule of conduct and its stance on whistleblowing. The IET promotes and encourages ethical behaviour in engineering. Each individual team member is responsible for our professional and personal

Throughout the month of April I have been working on the final preparations for the microhouse ready for Gregynog. This includes coding the combat mode, coding the Bluetooth menu + remote control mode, improving the obstacle avoidance code and general improvements to the micro mouse code to make sure its reliable and ready for the
Throughout the month of march I have been working on redesigning an improved version of the white line sensor as the old white line sensor gave different values for the same surface and the 2 front sensors was not on a single circuit board. There have been some issues that have developed with the line
Throughout the past month I have been working on the white line following algorithm. Much progress has been made and the micro mouse can now follow a white line although the program still needs some improvement as there are still some issues that can occur. Good progress has also been made with the shell design
