For the drag race event the mouse has to follow a straight line for approximately 7 metres as fast as possible and must stop before reaching the end of the track.

The wall follower event requires the mouse to run in a maze and follow the left hand wall to successfully negotiate a path to the centre square.

Some teams use one mouse for all three events, changing sensors and wheels to reconfigure the mouse each time.  Other teams make mice dedicated to line following to compete in the line follower and drag events and completely separate mice to tackle the technically more challenging maze event.

Medals were presented to the owner of any mouse that successfully completed the course in each of the events. Two of the Claires Court competitors collected the maximum of three medals and a total of 59 medals were presented on the day.  In addition, trophies were awarded to the owners of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed mice in each event. The Claires Court mice proved very reliable and were awarded a total of 14 medals between them:

Raphael Baker won 2 medals with his mouse “Flash Mouse”
Archie Cottingham won 2 medals with his mouse “MouseXT1”
Alistair Jesseman won 3 medals with his mouse “Thunderbolt”
Jonny Payne won 2 medals with his mouse “Doofbot”
Jamie Reddington won 3 medals with his mouse “Verpbot”
Aaron Mussell won 2 medals with his mouse “Roboracer”
