Why map?  Just build a bot that keeps a feeler on the left wall, and turns
left if it loses the wall.  You'd never go down the same hallway twice,
and there's much less programming.

Depending on the topology of the maze, your bot may never find the exit with
this strategy.  Here's the simplest example:

+--------------+
|          F   |
|              |
|   +-+        |
|   | |S       |
|   +-+        |
+--------------+

S = Start
F = Finish
