I disagree.  Pure speed has the problem that it can end up repeating

repeats, and could win.

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.


i disagree, i thought of this solution, but the "Left-fork" rule does not
apply to all mazes.

a maze can be designed to counteract this type of solution.  moreover, the
"right-fork" rule does not work either.
