We encourage each and every one of our Area Student Paper Contest winners to submit their articles to Potentials for publication. Not only will you have kudos from your paper contest win, but you'll have an actual publication under your belt, all before you get your first undergraduate degree. Talk about a good line item for your grad school applications/resume.

What is a MicroMouse?
A MicroMouse is a self-contained "smart" device that can autonomously navigate its way through a 16x16 cell maze. Through the use of programming, this little device must start at one corner of the maze and find its way to the center in the shortest time. There are cash prizes awarded to the winners of this competition. Contact your Student Branch Counselor or Area Student Activities Chair for more information.
What are the Rules for the Competition?
There are specific rules associated with the size and costs associated with your mouse. Additionally, there are
stipulations regarding the the size and scope of the maze. These rules and specifications can be obtained by contacting your Area SAC or the Regional RSR or RSAC.
