Actually, there a kind of maze where this would not always work. This is one
that has a (or part of a)maze structure *not* connected to any exterior
walls. If the 'bot attaches to any element in this structure then it will go
round 'n round. A solution would be to record your start position and if
this position is encountered again then some virtual decision needs to be
made to start looking for some wall not previously traversed.
