Remembering its Path

Today I started working on a much more advanced recovery system for the rover.
Until now, FAILSAFE has mainly been designed to stop the rover when autonomous navigation runs into a serious problem.
I don’t want stopping to always be the rovers first and only solution.
Instead, I want Sentinel to eventually remember where it came from, retrace part of its path, and search for another route.

The New Recovery Idea

The recovery system I’m building is designed to eventually work like this:

Dead End?
        I
        v
FAILSAFE
        I
        v
Retrace Recent Path
        I
        v
Scan Surroundings Again
        I
        v
Try Another Route
        I
        v
No Safe Route?
        I
        v
Switch to Manual Mode
