Hi Zonker,
I deleted the "its not".
The thanks only refers to text stolen for the handout, not general
assistance like module design.
Added "custom" before designed. Want to point out that it is all Lego, and
just the track and motors are used in a "stock" manner.
Goals doesn't give me a verb before the colon, and strive is the action
toward a goal.
