Hey Iz, I heard you’re building a new little robot that can solve mazes. I’ve been messing around with a puzzle engine that lets you write code in a blocky interface—think Minecraft but for robot navigation. What if we prototype that?

Sounds intriguing. A blocky interface could let me tweak the maze‑solving algorithm on the fly. What do you have in mind for the robot’s hardware—just wheels or something more complex? Let's sketch a prototype together.

Nice, I’m all in. For the hardware let’s keep it simple—just a two‑wheel skid unit, a gyro for orientation, a camera for line‑following or some IR sensors to detect walls. We can add a tiny MCU like a Raspberry Pi Zero W or an ESP32 for the brain, and then just bolt on the blocks in code. We’ll prototype the maze solver with a cardboard box maze, see if the robot can navigate it without crashing. How about we grab the parts this afternoon?
