Steve,
I just want to say thanks for your clear explanation. I have heard the term
state machine tossed around a lot, but didn't really know what it was. (Not all
of us robotics guys are computer programmers for a living!) I don't need to
write such a thing now, but I will defenitely refer to this in the future.
Also, I just recently found out how a lookup table works. For many its obvious,
but for a mechanical guy who hasn't taken much programming, it wasn't. Thanks
again for your help,
Rob
