Ng Beng Kiat is a talented guy who’s built many “micromouse” style robots. These tiny machines zip through mazes in disturbingly short amounts of time. His newest creation, Min5, is faster than the previous Min4A, which you can check out a really rad video of here. Watch the video all the way through - near the end Min4A does two optimized runs that are just insanely fast. What’s especially crazy is that somewhere, someone builds faster robots than this guy.

dang, dude. i wasn’t expecting *that* fast. were the later runs with the robot’s remembered solution to the maze in memory? leads me to ask why we can’t have computers driving cars yet?

Yeah, the last two runs were done with the shortest path the robot learned to take.
