My friend and I are currently working on a small car that explores a 16x16 cell maze.

We are trying to accomplish something like this:

I made a page using Javascript and HTML5 that visualizes the output of the 1st-person-view maze exploration/solving program written in C. The algorithmic aspect of the project is mostly finished and can be simulated on this page: http://shin.ws/apps/maze/visualizer/visualizer.html

Right now, we are trying to get an easily programmable AVR and test hardware inputs and outputs. My partner has some hardware experience, and my current ECE courses in college will be helpful.

I'll keep this page updated.
