Just a goofy cosci nerd who has a deeply rooted lust, curiosity, and fascination devoted to older. almost forgotten technology and machinery - in aesthetic, function, & culture. I'll see you around the world wide web! Angsty main: @voidvoyageur

Grígora S (2014) by Antonio Valente, Paulo Salgado, and José Boaventura-Cunha, Engineering Department, Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), Vila Real, Portugal. Grígora S was runner-up in the final (B) of the 2016 Micromouse Portuguese Contest (MPC) with a time of 58.99 seconds.

"Some of the problems with commercially available robot kits or other kits for micromouse contest are that they are usually expensive and have very low performance essentially due to high dimensions and/or motor type. Therefore, a low-cost micromouse kit has been devised in the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro to help to raise high school students' interest to science and technology. The kit is based on Arduino Leonardo, has two wheels with differential drive, a stepper motor on each wheel, and infrared hall detection sensors." – Grígora S: A Low-Cost, High Performance Micromouse Kit.
