Electric Pathfinding System

Inspiration

Did you know 85% of people in Tanzania, do not have access to efficient transportation and electricity; Places like Burundi and Chad have even less than 6.5% of the population have access to efficient electricity respectively. We want to revolutionize this and help the people who may be less fortunate, as we ourselves are lucky to be born into a world this full of technology.

What it does

Our goal is to find the most optimal way of transferring energy from destination to destination, Our project models that, finding efficient methods where everyone has access to these basic necessities.

How we built it

Using a Maze Generation Algorithm along with Depth First Search Algorithm which we coded, we were able to generate paths that would differ from generation to generation as well as from practice run to practice run. We then used this program to find a pathway to the end, and we worked with Roblox Path Finding code to show the path to the end for the game to work.

Challenges we ran into

A major challenge we faced was the path finding algorithm as at the beginning it refused to follow within the walls as it simply hopped over obstacles and after the fix to the path finding algorithm, it just kept keeping hopping on top of the walls as opposed to following within the walls again, but we managed to fix it in the end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It is one of those achievements that we are proud of, is the mastering both of the Maze generation algorithm as well as the Path finding algorithm to a complete degree of understanding and the ability to use it freely.

What we learned

We learned that it takes much more work to get something like our project to work, and there is much more to what meets the eye. But in the end, the most important lesson we learned, was that if you have a great idea you have to make it work, Most people quit before they can see their idea shine.

What's next for Electricity System Pathfinder

In the next phase, we will be adding more real world simulation experiments to the electric path finding system, perhaps a glitch will cause the system to restart itself, which will then send another electrical signal, or perhaps it will alter its path if a wall is broken, or perhaps it will self-shutdown itself to prevent any harm or problems from taking place when a natural disaster breaks the lines.
