There is an an invitational Micromouse competition happening 
Feb 25-26 at the Weston Hotel, Downtown Boston, as part of the 
annual APEC conference.  Anybody with a qualified robot critter 
is invited to attend.  Competitors are asked to show up on the 25th
to calibrate their mice to the maze, and the actual competition 
will be at 2:00pm the following day.

For those that don't know, in this contest the contestant or 
team of contestants must design and build a small self-contained 
robot to negotiate a unconnected maze in the shortest possible 
time.  Since 1979, the micromouse competition has been one of 
the ultimate challenges for robot enthusiasts.  Sort of the 
Nasscar Circuit of the robot world.

So far, there are at least 5 high-quality mice guaranteed to be there.
Anybody showing up will be witness to real state-of-the art.

Practical application quotient: 0.0, but it is very impressive.
Lotsa fun.

For more information, you can contact David Otten (6-time Micromouse
world champion) at 617-253-4691.  I believe he can give you help
with hotel bookings.

For all Canadian competitors, please confirm if you will be going
by calling Louis Geoffrey (Canadian Micromouse Champion) before Feb 19th. 
His number is 514-449-5529.  If there is sufficient interest from the
Toronto area, a car-pool thing may be arranged.

Micromouse Rules are available on request.  

See you there.

Is all.
