On October 7th, 2023, two teams, "RATZ" and "RemIEEE," representing the Rutgers IEEE Micromouse division, participated in a Micromouse Competition held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The primary objective of this competition was to construct a robotic "mouse" capable of autonomously navigating to the central 2x2 portion of a 16x16 maze in the shortest time possible. The event was organized by IEEE Region 1 and was hosted as a part of the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference.
