The Maze Zone Drone Design Team

Project Description

Conceived with a strong interest to utilize a drone, the Maze Zone Drone project takes traditional maze solving, and tests the intellectual reaches of the design team members. The multi-system effort includes a physical maze, ground vehicle, image processing, and the drone itself - to create a unique implementation to maze solving. The Maze Zone Drone is an autonomous quadcopter, whose objective is to fly and locate points of interest on a maze. It captures a stable image, which is then transmitted to a ground station computer located on the ground vehicle. This system's objective is to analyze the image and solve the maze. To top it off, the ground vehicle will then take this maze solution to successfully navigate the maze on the first attempt. The focus of this project is to achieve seamless integration of all components and systems. With each added component and line of code, the chance for failure increased.
