Electrical tape. Yup, seems good. If we liked, we could put two codes
on the pipe: On say, the right hand half, we put essential signals
(which direction to take) and on the left-hand side, we put more
informative signals (like, 90 degree up bend ahead, etc.) If you're not
up to tackling the tough stuff, you can use the easy signals.

| (...) I also think that 'blind alleys' off a 't' or a 'y' junction should go about a foot or two and just stop abruptly, so if your 'bot wasn't smart enuf to go the 'right' way, it could just drop off the maze alltogether Dave K (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
