About this hackathon
Micromouse Challenge — Navigate the Maze, Beat the Clock
Build an autonomous robot that can map and solve a 10×10 grid maze on its own — no remote control, no manual input. Just your bot, its sensors, and its code against the clock.
Registration fees: Rs. 350https://formbuilder.ccavenue.com/live/ccavenue/manipal-university-jaipur-2/techideat-2026-202622
Payment Confirmation link:https://forms.gle/PG5SBptsQ16GA1Fv9Completion of these forms is mandatory. Failure to submit them will result in the cancellation of your registration.
Format
Maze: 6.5 ft × 6.5 ft, 10×10 grid, 198mm cells
Path width: 192mm | Wall height: 100mm
Each robot gets multiple runs within a fixed time window — a search run to map the maze, followed by speed run(s) on the mapped route
Your fastest successful run determines your rank
Eligibility
Open to individuals and teams of 2-5
Robot must be self-built and self-navigating — fully autonomous once released at the start cell
Robot must fit within a 19×19 cm bounding box and stay under 90mm in height
Rules
No manual or remote control once a run begins
No external positioning aids (e.g., overhead cameras directing the robot)
Robot must stay within the maze path at all times — no jumping, flying, or climbing over walls
Any wall collision incurs a time penalty; repeated or damaging collisions may disqualify the run
Robots are subject to inspection before competing
Process
Register your team and robot details
Report for inspection on competition day
Compete in your allotted run slots (search + speed runs)
Fastest valid completion time wins
Safety
All robots must have an accessible power switch
LiPo batteries must be declared and transported in fire-resistant casesKindly refer to the attached guidelines to make your micrmouse.
