Exactly the same way you map the path. Just use a different colour pen/pencil ;) Do it on the same map as you paths and you'll start to build up a better picture of where you're trying to go.

And I'd say forget drawing straight onto the shaft. Just measure your movements and draw that.

Does anyone have any tips for times in the maze where you can't just hug the walls?

Please don't tell me it's just practice, as my hack saw is looming ever nearer to help me open it :evil:

...it's a two stage process really:
[1] Draw maps
[2] Use them

You just need to learn where you can go, and where the traps are. So learn when to turn.

I am mapping the track, and I am wondering if the track will over lap at all? I have traced my track, and when I wrap it around the shaft, there is only about 1cm between the start and the finish.

Does this mean I am close to finishing? I hope so, as over lapping tracks will make me end up in a padded cell...

You have to remember that the Revo works by you navigating a pin through a metal/plastic maze. It wouldn't physically be possible for one track to overlap another as the pin would have to literally pass through metal/plastic.

Isn't it just the best feeling pulling out the code? I haven't stopped smiling!

Green in the post, blue will be on order asap. Then I start the metals!

Thanks for the help people have posted!
