So, I tried something last time that didn't really go so well
I want to try again, but this time I made some changes, I hope they help
Welcome, you've been selected to participate in the NEATA Lab's Maze Test.
You are located in the middle of a maze, we ask of you to find the exit.
Please look at the watch we installed on your wrist, you will be using it for navigating the maze.
As you can see, it shows a map of the maze. You are expected to fill the map yourself.
However, if you are lucky enough, you are not the only one to have been selected. The map will show the path of all explorers.
You might have noticed your watch have 3 slots where you could fit chips. Throughout the labyrinth you might find chips that will help your navigation.
Please, explore the most you can to find the chips, they are unique and irreplaceable. At least until you unlock the Chip Maker, where you can clone your chips, so you can have spare chips, or you can share them with other explorers.
You might also have noticed your legs are... equipped with some kind of exoskeleton.
You can move freely inside this room, but as soon as you step inside one of these corridors, this equipment will limit your movement.
The watch will give you instructions and options of activities, one of which is moving.
Every 10 seconds (let's call this a turn) you will be given the option to move, if you chose to move, you will be able to walk up to 30 steps (30 squares) per turn.
If you wish to make a turn, please specify it on your command, otherwise, your legs will stop at the nearest intersection and you will have to wait the next turn to move again.
To start your exploration, please chose one color to fill your map and head on into one of these corridors.

notes
If you have suggestions for upgrades, please share them. I might use it.
Also, I already have the maze complete, if you want to just solve it by yourself you just need to pm me and I will send it. However, if you do so, your contribution will not be accepted in this thread.
And just a little note: English is not my first language. If there is anything wrong in the text, please tell me. I want to improve.

Now that the maze started being explored, I would also like to inform that your watch has another function.
Your watch has a teleportation function. You can teleport to the central room for whatever reason. And if you want to go back to where you were, the teleportation function can help you with that too, however, this function can only be used inside the central room.
Anyway, please, continue exploring.

Great, a new explorer joined the maze! Now that we have a plural number of explorers, we would like to inform that you can use your watch to communicate with any other explorer at any time.

patch 1.0.2
-When you get to a dead end, you will spend the rest of your movement going back until your movement ends or you get into an intersection.
-We added stars in the map to show where in your path you find yourself, in case you go back or cross your old path again.
-We changed back the color of intersections to dark grey for easier identification.

Go back! Turn right, right, then left at all intersections.
Hopefully I'll find a chip somewhere here

Congratulations Chartreuse Explorer! You've found an upgrade. Would you like activate it now? If you do activate your upgrade, you wont be able to move this turn.
Also, Purple Explorer, it seems there is an upgrade close to you, do you wish to prioritize it?

Please do prioritize the chip. If I don't have to stand on the chip to activate it, then continue, always turning right

Chartreuse Explorer, the upgrade you got allow your map to explore the walls around you, now you can uncover more of the maze with less steps.

Activate please! What's the range on chartreuse's vision?
Does returning to center consume a turn?

Go downwards, and prioritize a zigzag-like path leftwards, if possible. Else, go outwards.

Teleport to central room, take 8 steps forward on path 4. If first right isn't a visible dead end, back up two steps and take it. Otherwise take second right.
When I get to the point that there cannot be a chip that hasn't been seen in there, teleport back and take the left path on 3, always right.

teleport to central room and go through 10 instead, turning left at any forks.
