OK. I didn't want to include Ralf's mazer in the e-mails, but
anyone who wants it can download from RDS website.
Now, if we can get 2 robot routines, we can have a contest.
More importantly, perhaps you will share some insight into
the strategy. (I think there is probably more than one strategy
that would work?)

For a head-to-head contest (pixels got heads?) I suggest a
simple naming convention:
Your robot-moving code should be in an include file: CKBOT.E,
with its function named MoveCKBot() - it returns the new bot
coordinates.
Then to pit one against the other, all we'll have to do is:
include CKBOT.E
include RALFBOT.E
while not(fini) do
Bot[1] = MoveCKBot()
--record the elapsed time
Bot[2] = MoveRalfBot())
-- record the elapsed time
DrawBots()
-- DrawBots routine plots the bots and sets fini = TRUE if either
-- bot is at the finish line.
end while
PrintResults()
