Solving a Maze • Chapter 19 381

Creating the Maze

Now that you have a maze runner, you presumably would like a maze, too!

Unless you want to show off your robot at some sort of public exhibit, it’s not

necessary to build a lovely structure made from wood or other materials.You can

test your creature against a makeshift labyrinth made with small pieces of furni-

ture, piles of books, large boxes, cardboard and everything else your imagination

will suggest.

The only thing to make sure of is that all the “walls” have a smooth surface at

the height corresponding to the sensors, so they don’t block them during the

robot’s run.
