CHAPTER 4RESULT AND ARCHIEVEMENT4.1 Hardware and StructureFigure 4.1 shows the mechanism and structure for the Micromouse beingbuilt. The base of the robot was formed by acrylic casing that holds the stepper motor.The base was supported by the two wheels made by PE rode and a castor. Thewheels were covered with rubber stripe to prevent against slippery while navigatingin the maze.Meanwhile, the upper part of the Micromouse was formed by the two layer ofcircuit arrangement which is the main and motor boards. The sensors were attachedon the front, left and right of the robot. The battery was located at the middle of therobot to form the center of the mass and supported by the castor and the base of therobot. Circuit connectors were made to link the board and other components togetherto work as w system. Overall, the robot weight was around 0.7 kg, height of 13 cm,length of 13 cm and the width of 8.7 cm.
