Hi all!
I am not sure this is the best forum for my question, but I hope you will have
patience! :-)
I am building a maze-walker and it is quite large... Does anyone have any
constructive ideas on how to build the maze itself, so that it is light but
sturdy?
Because of the size (at least 1 square meter) I think it should be possible to
disassemble it easily...
There must be plenty of people out there that built mazes - could you please
help me with some suggestions? Thank you!
/Vlad

| It sounds like you want a maze that you can build on any given floor, such that the floor itself forms the floor of the maze and all you actually supply is the walls. I would suggest buying some 2x4s (as we call them in the U.S.) -- the type of wood (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
