The Disney Challenge Part 1

Dear amusement park engineers,

You have been hired by the Walt Disney World corporation to design a prototype of a new amusement park ride called "It's a Bee's Life." The corporation envisions a track system where cars, shaped like bees, carry small children through a maze in search of a honey pot. They want the bees to move both forwards and backwards while making both left and right turns. In the middle of the maze, they would like the bee to pause so that the children can see an image of a 3-dimensional beehive. Since they don't want to waste time between unloading one group of children and loading the next group of children, the entrance and exit of the ride should be near each other, but not at the same point. At some point in the ride, the bee should make a complete (360 degree) rotation. The ride is designed for small children, so the duration of the ride may not exceed 40 lines of code.  The Walt Disney corporation looks forward to seeing your designs.
