UAF Micromouse 2008

June 24th, 2008

Something I haven’t posted on much here is the micromouse competition I’ve been involved in. It’s an end to end design contest where you go from drawings/schematics to a physical design to a programmed running robot. Our team here at UAF has won the last two years and this year our design was highly refined.

Our design photos are under “Micromouse at UAF” in the menu on the left of the site. If you have any questions about our designs feel free to ask.

Our house, in the middle of our street.

So I haven’t updated this site in a while (but my posts are of such a high quality, no one noticed). Main reason is I’ve been busy building a house (instead of finishing my thesis/cycling/doing anything else other than work).

It’s a little cabin sized unit (that I refer to as a house because of the huge amount of work it’s been) with a small shed type thing (that I refer to as a uni-bomber cabin because it looks like Ted Kaczynski’s place but with a window). You can check em out below. It’s been a huge learning experience, and while my cycling form is rubbish right now, hauling dirt around every day has kept me relatively fit.

Should be able to generate a little income renting these suckers out while I’m living in europe.
