A few people said the last contest I had too easy - so I've ramped up the difficulty quite a bit. But the prize is bigger - a Propeller Platform, Prototyper Module, and a new Accel_Gyro Inertial Measurement Unit.

The item to be identified and method of entry is right here.

Good Luck!

As seen in the YouTube video (also listed in the Components section), FingerTech's Mecanum Wheels allow your robot to traverse sideways just by rotating the wheels independantly.

The Challenge: Complete a maze!  Wait that's too easy.  Complete a maze without turning!  Much better.
