Would you have the mice/contestants search the maze as a preliminary run
or should they have the layout pre-programmed at the start?
I guess the latter if this is to be a standard, racing maze.
I would suggest a couple of U-Turns be added to stress test cornering.

This will still fit into an 8x4 with a straight added (the join would be
a natural place to find a bump)
