I've added my comments to the code you posted (they start with **). I've also added some indenting.: #define SIZE 3 int v[SIZE],i,sum,ave; // initialize the array and some other variables sum = 0; for (i=0;i<SIZE-1;i++) { //I think this means set (...) (18 years ago, 13-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The line above is the line that cycles the array - each time through the loop it increments i and resets it to zero if it's >= SIZE (% is modulus operator). But I would agree with you about the v[i]=0 line - seems to me it would make the (...) (18 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Some time ago some of you offered to help out if I (and I suppose anyone else) had any questions about programming.... well, here goes I'm reading "Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms" and in Chapter 12, there is some code to create a circular (...) (18 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This is indeed the main problem. As we originally defined a GBC it used soccer balls (at the time, Zamors hadn't yet even come out), so most GBC-standard modules not only use but take advantage of the fact that a LEGO soccer ball fits very (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

<<but I gather that means they may not work in a ball pump e.g.>> I chose to use Zamor spheres (because of their availability) for our GBC in my small robotics/engineering class.
