    No, I've still not made a LIDAR webpage for the site (I'm also considering a
line-following page - Steve, I know you wanted to do that at one time on your
site). But a few posts on LUGNET caught my eye:

(I ran it through http://world.altavista.com/ for a translation from Italian).
It appears I *also* need to drasticly update my list of "GBC possibilities". As
to Q&D GBCm that will turn corners and stretch as wanted, how about:

Ben & I wanted to do this for BF, but (like a lot of other ideas) didn't get
around to it. Balls dump into the track at ground level, then are pushed around
and up a hill where the MTV (I like that; then the entire Moonbase system can be
the MTA ;-) runs over a bridge with no center area between the wheels, allowing
the balls to drop below the roadway. This would be fun in a GBC... additionally,
it would now be almost trivial to "invade Moonbase" with the GBC theme...
(insert evil grin here).
    What has been eating up my time (you know, beside work, family, life, and
scouting out reasonably-priced gas) is trying to get a line-follower to solve a
maze. Ugh. It's a software problem, but one of the toughest ones I've tackled in
NQC (especially given the prohibition on nesting subroutines or iterative
solutions). Anybody else aiming at this for ChiBots? And while on the subject,
what GBCm's do we want for ChiBots? At the very least I'm going to go back to a
single train with only two stations (again, if I get the time).
