No.

The traction/turn radius/steering is pure fucking sex.

do you need to have a degree in Electrical Engineering to try it? I mean, it must be hard to program that little shit. At least to be efficient.

no. the device learns the map first, making it easier and faster at each attempt. this guy messed up, had no control over final speeds so it started crashing into shit.
>do you need to have a degree in Electrical Engineering to try it?
no. just experience with electronics such as SoC and some programming experience. that's it.

That speed is absurd. How the hell did it map? Doesn't look like lidar.

A. I.

no

how did it maintain traction during those extreme maneuvers?

It probably doesn't.
More likely an algorithm compensates for any sliding and wheel spin, keeping it on course.

what are the rules on these? Is it standard hardware and people just compete via programming or can you build whatever you want?

Fairly sure you can build your own, within limitations.
The programming is almost trivial.

It's not following the left hand algorithm? What the fuck?

nothing personnel kid...

Probably the most boring video I've watched this entire year
>speed is absurd
lol what

Nevermind, it ramped up in speed later on, but it's still nothing compared to the robots they use in other competitions

>no

THEN DO IT!

I'd like to see it in real time without the pauses and dramatic zooms

Micromouse has been around for decades. So boring.
