see, this is just the kind of mis-quoting that got me in trouble at U of
T and the stupid Varcity. What kind of a "reporter" calls me at my home
@ 7am and asks questions about St. Mikes policy. the best i did was
GRUNT... next day the papers quotes me as saying things that were just
plain un true.
Back to Lego:

this is/was true for tower building. NOW we are dealing with something
way more complex then a simple A C steering robot and a stacker.
:)
I kind of guessed that it was my quote, But I just could not think of
anything witty to reply. its hard always trying to come up with
something funny.
So as for my 3 RCX robot, I just want to point out that i am not using
EVERY port of all the bricks. i am actually only using 5 outputs and
6 inputs. It was just easier to divid the various robot chores into
separate bricks.
I have a brick t pick
A brick to place
A brick to send out stray IR....
Ok, that part is a joke. BUT have we figured out the IR issue?? Should
we post, or allot IR ranges to people???
If EVERYONE sends me (or calum) what you need in terms of IR info,
then maybe we can figure out ahead of time where conflicts might be.
