2:43 What sensors are those? I can't seem to find any IR sensors that look like that.

[@MicroMouse]

They are a separate IR LED at the top and a phototransistor at the bottom in a custom plastic housing, possibly 3d printed or CNCd.

[@jasonchen5994]

Can you spell "Tianjin" University correctly?

[@MicroMouse]

Thanks for the correction, Unfortunately UA-cam do not allow us to change anything in the video but I will put something in the description.

[@deepanshumehta7607]

can anyone tell me how to create a micro mouse like this??

[@MicroMouse]

You could start by subscribing to this channel (www.micromouse.me.uk) and having a look at www.micromouseonline.com or facebook.com/MicromouseLineFollowerAutonomousRobots/ .The best way is to find a competition local to you and go.

Why 0 girl's. Where is the equality

You cannot be f*cking serious. If some girls want to build robot mice, they can. You want people to round up random girls and force them to do it?

Silly, useless sound too high.
