Abstract
General Idea: Make a robot which can find a goal in a non-cycled maze (only with blind tracks) of black lines by going left on every intersection.
Thoughts: At first we tried robot only with two sensors and he did quite well. But finally we had to rewrite a source code for three sensors robot in a very short time because of troubles with implementation of two sensors ancestor. And that was the whole problem.
Results: Our robot can follows the black line, it can recognizes blind tracks and turns himself back to line. The only problem is with marking the intersections. Because robot hasn´t a ideal movement, there are still some inaccuracies. Theoreticaly we have some thoughts how to clean up, but we didn´t have enough of time to implement it right (viz. source code).
