An on the fly solution would have a robot !!maybe!! scan the board, then fix blocks, !!OR (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | (...) Yes, its a new firmware. But if you want arrays, you can do this with NQC. All you need is the new 2.0 firmware, and a relatively new version of NQC. I did some things with arrays a while ago. So, arrays are no problem, even with official Lego (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | (...) this is what i think i meant. because you have to name each array with a constant A(1) = 100 A(2) = 200 A(4) = 300 this is really no different than just a funny variable naming system A = 100 B = 200 C = 300 BUT if you could do this: var A(n) (...)
