Line Maze Challenge

Follow a path marked by a black line from the start of the maze to the end which is marked by a circle. Any path through the maze is allowed. Practice boards are recommended for algorithm development and testing.

Rules

The line maze rules are:

1. Black line on a white background
2. Start the robot at the "T"
3. Time starts when the robot starts moving
4. Robot must remain over the line
5. Robot may take any line path through the maze
6. Stop after three (3) minutes
7. Three attempts are allowed
8. On final attempt, stop when the robot reaches the large circle

Judging

This is a timed event where the shortest time wins and a tie goes to the robot that makes it closest (by path center-line distance) to the large circle.

The robot is eliminated if:

• It does not follow the black line
• It does not remain over the black line
• It does not stop the time limit
• It does not stop when it reaches the large circle on the final try
