29 dez 1980 ano - Micro Expo Exhibition in Paris

Descrição:

At the Micro Expo Exhibition in Paris there was a micromouse competition heat. Five mice were present. First place went to Nick Smith with Sterling Mouse, reaching the centre in less than 3 1/2 minutes.
The Paris final saw 13 competing entries of which only eight reached the centre. Sterling Mouse managed a time of 68 seconds. Alan Dibley had two mice in the eight that succeeded. Dave Woodfield took the day with Thumper.
The second UK micromouse contest was held at Wembly. Dave Woodfield’s Thumper was the winner with a best time of 47 seconds. Nick Smith’s Sterling Mouse was placed second with a best time of 1min 37sec. Alan Dibley took third place with Thezius which did two traversals with a best time of 2min 27sec. Thezius was especially interesting in that the processing power was provided by the relatively new ZX80 personal computer.
