Micromouse workshop by Technophilia at Hyderabad

Mission Micromouse workshop at Hyderabad from 9th to 12th July,2009

Mission Micromouse

Having conducted the basic and the advanced workshops for about 9000 students across the nation, we sense the need to push the bar even higher and guide passionate students to the next level.


Mission Micromouse is a workshop which not only gives you an insight to the process of building a successful Micromouse but assures the development of a completely . The Micromouse challenge has seen just two winners in a span of four years. The workshop is a unique mixture of theory and implementation, designed so as to expose the students to all the basics of building of a fully autonomous intelligent robot, via the platform of Micromouse.
