In our micromouse project, sustainability was an important consideration. As we designed and assembled our micromouse, we focused on materials and components with minimal environmental impact. For instance, we opted to use rechargeable battery packs, reducing potential waste from drained batteries.
Additionally, we considered the durability of our micromouse, aiming for cheap and easy maintenance. By focusing on a modular design, we hope to extend the lifespan of our micromouse by allowing for the quick and simple replacement of parts.
Overall, integrating sustainability into our design process involved making responsible choices that aligned with our values as engineers and contributed positively to the environment.
