It seems that we have the following situation:
background = BLACK
maze walls = BLUE
finish = RED
Now, by my estimation, that leaves at least several colors
for the bots.
If we run 4 bots at a time, we can use 4 different colors for
the bot, plus 4 more for the backtrack, and still have some
left over.
Using Ralf's bot handler, your mouse will never encounter any
other tracks - because the handler only notifies when there
is a collision with a wall or the finish line.
In addition, if we intend to actually have battling bots,
it will be necessary to differentiate between the actual
bot position, and the bot trail. No use blasting away at
bot vapor trails, is it? Nor bouncing off them, either.
