This is a REALLY good idea. Here's something I had kicking
around in my head...
1. Making a maze that we can all use is kinda hard.
2. Making a bot small enough to fit a standard buildable
maze is really hard.
I propose we invert the problem a bit....
Given a maze DRAWN on a piece of paper, can we devise a "bot"
that is just a light sensor that finds grey square and avoids
the black lines that represent the walls?
This might be a more managable problem.
Thought, ideas, comments, ridicule...
Cheers,
