Ah, this thing moves, but can it find exit? Just let me sleep...

    Wow good! I didn't even have to look at the machine before I knew how it worked. XD

    I've figured out how this works. The only bad thing about this is that Gravity needs to be off.

    starting from the end and then tracing it back to the starting point always helps me for some reason

    2. tl;dr : there are factorsssss that create corner cases which the bot fails. That's why it does not guarantee to find exit if there is only one bot, but you can add more bots.

    1. Longest path must be leading to exits if they exist. However, air physics does not perfectly simulate that heuristics. For example, air pressure gradually drops even in enclosure. So when the bot backtracks, it still has chance of turning into a old path and repeat endlessly.

    Also, pressing "i" is the bot's worst nightmare...
