the robot is about 9.8 [in]. The height of the wall is 7.5 [in] therefore the team wants a maximum height of 7 [in] in order to take capture the best pictures for the Easter Egg. Also, the competition is time based and we are set at a limited time to be able to finish the course when necessary. Obstacles that may be found inside the maze are 0.5 [in] speed bumps, which smaller wheels for traversing in the maze. Special constraints that were placed based upon the rules are the prohibition of wirelessly communicating with the robot and controlling its movement with wireless communication. According to Dr. Glover the IEEE Robot parts has a fixed budget of $1500. Specifications For image recognition speed and accuracy, we are fixed with better resolution (a minimum of 240 x 104 resolution) than frames per second (FPS) since we are taking a picture of the colored wall and not live streaming the walls. The minimum FPS required for quicker storage of pictures is 10 FPS. For navigation through the maze, we prefer acceleration speed, since moving through the maze may require sudden stops when the robot reaches a turn or when the robot reaches a dead end. However, we do require a minimum speed when traversing the maze. To find the minimum speed we calculated the time we need to move around a maze cell in terms of inches per second by finding the total area of the maze and dividing the maximum time needed to search through the maze which is Minimum Speed = (eq. 1) Table 1 shows the maze size for each round, the maximum time to search and the minimum speed to traverse the maze.
