There are multiple ways to exit a maze, but the most well-known method is to follow the wall with your left/right hand. Although this method may take some time, you can definitely get out of the maze by consistently touching the wall. Maze tests enhance problem-solving skills. Someone who frequently solves maze tests can quickly come up with solutions to the problems they encounter. In this project, we will design a maze and the necessary mechanical parts to move the maze by using a 3D printer.

Let's create a maze project that can move in right, left, up, and down directions by assembling 3D printer parts as shown in the visuals. To ensure the movement of the maze in this project, we will utilize two servo motors connected to the PicoBricks motor driver. The direction keys on the PicoBricks Touch & Piano module will be used to move the servo motors in the desired direction. By using the Right, Left, Up, and Down direction keys, we will control the direction and attempt to navigate the ball placed inside the maze to the exit.

You can prepare this project by breaking down PicoBricks modules at proper points.
