Yeah, something waaay more complex than searching 64 square feet for blocks
and stacking them so they stand up by themselves... like moving blocks
around a 6 inch by 6 inch grid--real tough...

Yeah, I need IR message 0-253 for mine. You can use 254-255

After much codeing, and with 1 RCX, I have my 'bot doing anti-X in XX* seconds.
*blocked out for geo-political reasons (but is a good time... I *may* not be
first, but I'll be able to keep the rest of you on your toes, whilst
taunting you with the fact that I named that tune in 1 note (1 rcx--am I
dwelling on the idea of 1 rcx?)
I'm looking forward to Saturday. Are we officially starting at 1 p.m.? I
have a few people who want to attend the event and watch and I mentioned to
them that the actual competition starts at 1 p.m.
Shall I bring the LEGO Cam again and do the time lapse photography?
I'm enthused!!!
Stay safe
Dave
