I think you've got a good idea here.  If we build it right, we wouldn't
have to rebuild it to have a different maze for subsequent rounds, we
could just mark different paths through the maze.

I don't like the idea of having more then one correct path.  I think if
you go down the wrong path it should be considered a failure.  Scored up
to the point of the wrong turn.

We could consider making flanges that could be clamped into the middle
of the wrong paths.  This would give a dead end the robot could detect.
The robot could then go back and try again.  A second chance of sorts if
you miss read the markings.

(...) Sad thing is I learned CPM techniques in first year, but the best implementation I've ever seen is in our GPS lab, where they put on the whiteboard whoever's behind the 8 ball. It gets people working FAST, and no need for CPM charting either. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
