Hello again.  This is another reminder that the University of California,
Davis will again be hosting an open micromouse contest on Picnic Day, this
coming April 22.  It will be in room 2205 Haring Hall on the central 
campus at 1.30pm.  I will get special parking permits for participants.  
We can arrange to lodge people with various students here in town Friday 
night, if that would help for anyone.

This is an open contest, and anyone may participate.  All are invited to
attend.  Picnic Day is the campus wide open house here, and attracts tens
of thousands of visitors to our campus.  Last year, we had approximately
eight participants from various schools in California, plus U. Nevada Reno
(who, incidentally, won).  We filled a 400-500 person lecture hall to the
rafters and had a lot of fun.  We regard this contest as both a way to
prepare for official IEEE contests, as well as a way to informally
socialize with other mousers. 

So far this year, we have the following people who have expressed interest:
-Team from UC Santa Barbara
-Team from Chico State
-Mouse from Harjit Singh, currently w/ Jet Propulsion Lab
-Mouse from Ken Duisenberg, currently w/ NASA Ames (using the mouse he 
built while a student here at UCD)
-Assorted current teams from UCD
-(anybody I've forgotten??)

Please let me know if anyone else is interested in participating!  I need 
to get a count so I know how many parking permits to get.  Please spread 
the word to anyone you know who may be interested.

On another note, I have started a mailing list for people who are
interested in micromouse.  This will be for discussions, questions,
contest announcements, etc. without bothering people on comp.robotics. 
Anyway, this list has existed for a while, but needs some activity to
really get it going.  Send a message to listproc@ucdavis.edu with the
message
