The schools competition area was a scene of great activity during the micromouse competition. The entries from Singapore gave the events an extra air of excitement. Their specialist event was the F1 drag race where their stepper driven mice excelled, setting a new record. The Formula 1 race has now become very competitive with places being decided by hundredths of a second. In the formula 2 event, the competition was also very tight with the winner here also setting a new record.
