This could almost be a challange. How about marking up a circuit by
marking the curbs with black tape. Then let the car race around trying
to map the circuit and find the way through. After a coupple of laps it
could finish "learning mode" and try to make better and better lap
times. This should be possible using LegOS, but NQC is probably not
efficient enough.
