Hi,

This sounds like a great challenge!  One quick question, is the square
containing the light beacon marked in any way?  Perhaps a different color
floor for that square.  It would make goal determination much easier.  Or is
part of the challenge having the robot decide when it had reached the beacon?

A variation that might be fun is to have one or two bricks by the beacon to be
retrieved and brought back for extra points.  Perhaps one 'bad' (negative
points) brick and one 'good' (positive points) brick.

Great challenge and an attractive web page as well!

Hello !

Some of us are looking for new Lego-challenges. So, I created this one,
which is called : "the Labyrinthus challenge".

"The goal is to build a robot which could enter into a labyrinth (made
of black tape on white floor or so) and find it's way. There is a light
beacon somewhere in the lab : the robot have to find the light beacon.
When the robot got the light beacon, he must exit the maze, from where
he came from. (That is, from the entrance)"
