Overview
- Guinness recorded Blub covering 40 feet 3.46 inches in one minute on the Italian TV show Lo Show dei Record in Milan.
- The four-wheeled rig seats the fish in a water tank while a camera detects its movement and steers the vehicle accordingly.
- The officially recognized category is the greatest distance covered in a motion-sensing vehicle by a goldfish in one minute.
- Thomas de Wolf described the project as a fun break from his monotonous job that also demonstrates the capabilities of motion-sensing engineering.
- Record guidelines counted movement in any direction with a minimum of 5 meters required, and the tracking system relies on strong color contrast that Blub’s bright red coloring provided.
