Hey folks,

rtlToronto15: In light of someone calling rtl15 sumo on pipes, I was thinking
about turning rtl15 into an actual nonlinear path.  Meaning, instead of having
only one true path, having the other joints forming an entire grid.

Every joint has the "right way" pointed to get to the other objective (where the
opposing robot starts) but following the wrong way can also lead you to joints
where you can return to the "right way".

This allows for a much more rigid maze.

Comments?

People have enough trouble doing 2-D mazes (micromouse), and you're talking about adding a third dimension. I think (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) (hope you don't mind a lurker commenting :) Wouldn't you have to mark the "correct" way on each joint, and have different markers for the two sides to follow? One robot would follow the "red" markings, while the other follows the "blue"? That (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
