Mission Statement: Develop and demonstrate a means for mobile robots to communicate path guidance information to one another.

 

Primary Design Problems:
1. Orientation and Position - Robot must know where it is so it can tell the other robots and build a "picture" of the maze.

2. Wireless Communication - Robot must be able to talk to the other robots to relay information.

3. Maze Solving with Shortest Path tracking - Robot must be able to solve the maze, then find the shortest path from the start point to the goal.

4. IEEE competition was not an original objective, however 10 days prior to the completion Zigbot was capable to compete.
