(...) I like the many ideas thrown around here. The line tracking idea is very appealing to me. Trying to get a 'bot to follow a zigzag line as quick as possible is challenging. The issues: how big can you make the 'bot and if you can only use parts (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Chris, Hi there. I have been very busy lately. Started up a web / ebiz company with a few people. Unfortunately, my time for lego building has taken a hit.
