Hi Mario,

Yes, you did prove me wrong, and I promised to put a link to your robot on
my site. But then my harddrive crashed and I lost all my mail, including
your address. But I'll live up to my promise and add you right now!

This particular braintype can be used for a bit more complex behaviour, but
that's rather limited. I'd opt for a neural brain for that but I don't think
I can fit one in the 1k memory of the Scout :)

Both the robot itself (ai-wall avoider) as well as the theory of roulette
wheel brains (ai-roulette wheel) can be seen on my website.

Hi Bert,

You did already dig deeply into the Scout!
Very interesting. It surely applies to more complex behaviour too.
I used a similar approach with my learning brick sorter, but I never • thought
to the roulette wheel, it's a very clear metaphore.
