Web Crawler

Build a robot that find the center of a web of ropes. Various portions of three concentric ‘rings’ of ropes are connected with inward strands. A light bulb is placed at the center. Your robot starts at the outside ring and must work its way to the center of the web.

Web Crawler: (chasm crossing with multiple ropes)
Design and build a robot to navigate a simple web constructed of nylon rope (or other appropriate material). The goal being to start on one side of the web and successfully traverse a series of interconnecting lines to reach an intended goal. With the knowledge that none of the lines provides a direct route between the start and finish. The layout envisioned as follows: a simple ladder web set parallel to the floor. The thought process leading to the proposal is that can a LEGO robot hang from the rope, navigate the lines, be able to change direction and seek out a light source as the finishing point.
