Micromouse Time Trials Contest Rules

The Time Trials contest is an excellent test of the micromouse robot’s performance. Precise turns, acceleration, speed and great steering. It is also a lot of fun at the end of the day while the main results are being sorted out. There are very few rules.

Essentially, the task is to get round the outside of the maze as fast as possible. The best complete circuit time is recorded and scores are simply the run times.

Any kind of maze-compatible robot can be used – it does not have to be a conventional micromouse. A wall-follower would find it easy and you could even build a completely mechanical robot designed specifically for the job.
