I'm starting on the program for my Mindstorms robot and I had a question.
What is the best way to get a random number using VB?  At first glance I can
find a register that appears to generate a random number between 1 and 32768,
but how do I limit this range?  How do I [easily] get a random number between,
say, 5 and 25?

Also, has anyone posted VB source code (with comments) either here or on a
website somewhere?  That would be a big help to those of us who are just
getting started...

Thanks!
