Well, let's see. Rob won the event...and I know he can program--or at least his
dad can.
Who didn't have a robot? Well, I brought one with Mario. Hrm. We can both
program (He wrote the majority of the code, I wrote a small part on a secondary
RCX)...
Who else is in this conversation....Bruce....Within five minutes of the ProjectX
challenge being spawned in 2001, while you were still wondering how to fit 16
cells of data into limited RCX variables (Chris answer: Avoid variables, just
use IF-THENs!) Bruce was already grinning and mumbling the word "bitmask" to
himself...so Bruce is okay...
...so...what were you trying to point out again? :)

I shudder at that thought. I think we need to do a bit of analysis on Chris'
ProjectX software. Steve, get out your notebook again...

Here's your problem! You're calling a function called "Homex" when you have a
function called "Homey". Everyone knows calling your homeboys is short for
"homes" not "homex" (example: "Yo homes, what's the 411 on that new RCX
firmware, G?"
Obvious.

Uh oh. This is a guy who wanted to know how to do those "Johnny is 18 years
older than Sally..." questions...

Here's another problem: What did Iain tell you about making up words that end
with -y? We already said torque-y wasn't a real word!
