IAIN, I have a question.    2 day ago my robot was 90% done.    I had it
all working, AND I'd like to point out that when it placed a block it
was DEAD CENTER!!!!!  BUT my question is this.   when I ran several
tests the robot worked fine.     One day, my brother came over and i
thought I'd show off the robot.    It crashed, and skipped, and ground

MY neighbor came over (Alex who also likes lego) and I tried to show him
my robot.   IT FAILED again.

works perfectly, nothing ever does at the actual show.
