Hi John, (...) I find these extremely misleading, in a flowchart you should rather use the lines to express control flow. (...) It looks like you will have the same label (land icon color) twice in this case, as subVI a is just a macro. However, a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Why don't we take a poll? We could call it a "pole poll"! I think that real poles tend to be about the size of a person's head, and thus 1x1 rounds are a bit too small and 2x2 rounds a bit too big, and minifig heads a bit too wavy (it waves in (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

I think a larger arena makes sense, so that it doesn't get too crowded. What size will the holes in the corners of the table be? How far away from the walls will the center of each hole be? (I'm trying to figure out if my wall detection will prevent (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
