So, finally, someone managed to build a bot which walks into a virtual
maze... Sound great, and looks like what I launched some weeks ago : the
lab chalenge... I'm still trying this, but it's quite hard to have your
bot do the right things.

If anyone is still working at building a bot which could find it's way
into a maze (virtual or not), please let me (us) know your results.
Sounded quite hard, but with such brains in this newsgroup, someone
probably got it.

I did just that and was able to invert the problem and move the maze under
the robot.

Have a look at <http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/pdf/pbForthMaze.pdf>

for some introductory slides I made for Mindfest. I promise I'll post
as soon as I get the sirte updated with some pictures of the walker...

Cheers,

(...) Well, obviously I am, even if the maze is still not ready! :-) And the navigation system is still shaky... I plan to start a site about my project soon (maybe this weekend), a WikiWikiWeb so that anyone can contribute! /Vlad (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
  Re: building a maze
 
Your challenge inspired me to give it a try. I decided to make an actual moving robot that would navigate the full 8x8 maze. I constructed a section of the maze and went to work. I hope to have pictures soon, but here is a little information. Not (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
