Maze Robot


The maze robot solves a maze by the simple rule that says: Pick a line and follow it all the way to the other side. This rule, by the way, is only good for a certain type of mazes.

For this robot you will need one rotation sensor, one light sensor and one touch sensor. The light sensor coupled with the �Send Message� command serves as a �Proximity sensor�: the light sensor can sense the infrared light that the send message command put out when the robot is near a white obstacle as this diagram illustrate:

 

The proximity sensor instruct the robot to turn right whenever its facing a wall.
The rotation sensor and the touch sensor make sure the robot always travel near the wall.
