    It does not solve most mazes, this one is built to allow only straiht lines until it takes a turn... if there was a need to stop in the middle of a path and turn, then it would never finish. Plus one because it's still pretty cool.

    it is not hardcoded. every time it stops at a wall it checks possible paths by using the sensor inputs

    @travisw: it took me about a week - first i had to work out the principle ow to "decide" which path to go and then had to compres that boolean function with the quine-mccluskey algorithm

    the only way i know to make this faster is to use te console. he "decision" time cannot be changed because the nscn and pscn are tooslow to react on fast input variations.

    It follows the rule "Follow the right wall" but with the left wall because it is a hipster and following the right wall it too mainstream.

    @harrison531: You are upset that it doesn't turn when there is no wall..? That is pretty much the whole point. It completes any maze. Well, not any, but most.
