MazeX - Technex’26
IIT BHU
📌 About the Event
MazeX is an autonomous robotics challenge where participants design and program an explorer bot capable of navigating a structured line-based maze. The theme for this edition is “The Temple of Forgotten Algorithm.”
Bots must follow the “Runic Path,” reach the “Eternal Mantra,” and return to the starting point in the shortest possible time. In Round-2, static obstacles called “Guardian Stones” must be detected and avoided autonomously.
