Eubank the Mouse

The Mouse (also known as Eubank the Mouse) was a pyramid box shaped robot that competed in Series 1 of Robot Wars. It had a head designed like a mouse's with a pair of glasses on. It also had a pair of boxing gloves on its arms for comical effect, which were listed as its weapons. As a stock robot, The Mouse went out in the Trial round, like its fellow stock robots W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G. and Grunt, after it allegedly broke down, thus allowing future grand finalists T.R.A.C.I.E. through, despite it having barely moved at all. The driver Steve Dove would later go on to form the Challenger team, which competed in Series 2 and 3, before joining Team Joint Effort in Series 6.

The Mouse was originally created by Derek Foxwell for the 1995 UK Open Championship. The Mouse, like the other British robots, did not fare too well and was eventually toppled over. However, during the same championship it was known as House Mouse and it served as a makeshift house robot. The Mouse remained on static display until the end of Robot Wars' run.

Series 1
The Mouse's speed and manoeuvrability took it straight through the House Robot route. Dead Metal was the only House Robot to cause it much trouble forcing it back half way through the course, but The Mouse still managed to complete the course in the quickest time. As a Stock Robot, The Mouse wasn't allowed to qualify from the Trial stage, so it was driven into a side wall and then was announced to have broken down irreparably, thus eliminating it from the competition.
