Apart from some little things (like how we figure a robot is done, either by sound or owner calling out) it's more or less finished up. I don't think anyone is going to (...)

(...) Oh, I'm *thinking* about building another x-bot (Runamok Mark II) to see if I can come up with a completely different concept. So I may have 2--just waiting on the rotation sensors I ordered. Then I can come in first *and* second. Dave (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
