Telerobotic Navigation

Build a robot that can navigate the edges of a large checkerboard pattern stopping at each intersection to wait for a message from a remote. Message 1 means go one square to the left, 2 means go one square straight ahead, and 3 means go one square to the right.

Mouse Hole Maze: (tele-robotic navigated maze)
A bot navigates a maze that the operator cannot see (a divider with a mouse hole cut out divides the operator from the bot and the mouse hole allows for wires to pass through. The bot is equipped with sensors but not an RCX, the operator uses a connected RCX(s?) as a remote control device and depending on what information is relayed back to the operator (either via sound or LCD display), the operator must decided where to navigate in order to reach the finish point. The maze could be constructed of black tape on a white surface (to avoid wire snags that would occur with physical barriers) and coloured tape could be used as way points to indicate the bot is on the correct path. Variation: Replace the human operator with an RCX to test programming and communication skills.
