My university competes in a maze robot competition, and the maze
construction they use seems pretty decent. Start with a flat piece of
wood of whatever size you need, with holes drilled on a grid. The holes
should snugly accept dowels, each dowel the height of the walls.
Rectangular wall sections, all the same size, have grooves on the edges
so that they slide down between a pair of dowels. I don't recall exactly
if the dowels are round or + shaped, but this is the basic idea.
Hope that helps!
- Ben.
