yes. i use mindscript. ok. so its like that "scout" thing i never even
put batteries in?? OK. maybe i need to spend a few more min with it.
right now, all i did was add batteries, turn it one, add a a few wheels
and a skid plate, and when i hit run??? the thing spun in a circle, then
just when nuts around my floor. i thought it was in some kind of "light
seek" mode.... but it never "stopped"
(some time passs)
OK, cool. i rotated some "switch" to the "flash" ??? icon, and the red
led on the remote started to blink.... when i ran the thing, it did
indeed "seek" the remote.
thats kinda vool.(tm)
