You may have to use a motorized arm with a small micro-motor to handle the grasping and (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Hi. There's a mistake in the original directions--when you exit off of 81, you should take 281, not 11! The exit off of 81 works as follows: you get off of 81, and pretty immediately there's an exit to the right which is 11 to Homer. DON'T take it! (...)
