4 janv. 1980 - the first European competition

Description:

Professor John Billinsley, of Portsmouth Polytechnic, modified the rules and introduced the first European competition – held in London at Euromicro. the rule changes required the mice to find a goal in the centre of the maze and wall followers could be prevented from finding the goal. There were 200 enquiries and 100 entries, but only 9 mice at the finals. Nick Smith’s Sterling Mouse became the first ever (and that year the only) micromouse to find the centre and know it had done so. Although performance was less than stunning at about 0.18m/s, it was and still is a remarkable feat.
