A Pac-Man inspired bot, where it has to escape the maze without getting caught and getting maximum points.
A Lone Bot in the Maze
Deep inside a maze, a lone bot powers up. Its mission is to collect as many Pellets as possible scattered across the grid and find the exit. But the maze is not empty.
Ghosts on Patrol
A Ghost bot is already patrolling the corridors pre-programmed, relentless, and closing in. The full layout is known, but knowing the map and surviving it are two very different things.
Every Second Counts
Collecting pellets earns points, but every detour takes time and the longer the PacBot stays in the maze, the closer the Ghost gets. The Pacbot must think fast and plan the most efficient route, grab what it can, and get out before the Ghosts cut off every path to the exit.
Beat the Clock
The clock is running. The Ghosts are moving. The exit is somewhere on the other side of the maze.
- 01 Finding a path that collects maximum points while avoiding all Ghosts.
- 02 Deciding how aggressively to collect points before heading to the exit.
- 03 Reaching the exit in time before all escape routes are cut off.
- 04 Rerouting in real time as Ghost positions change every second.
- 05 Balancing between chasing points and surviving long enough to escape.
The team that builds the PacBot best performing the tasks: collecting the most Pellets, evading the Ghosts, and escaping the maze in time, in accordance with the rules will be declared the WINNER. 🏆
All the Best! Happy Learning!
