(...) This is just the datalog display. It indicates, in 25% increments, how full the datalog is. This indicator is totally harmless, and can be ignored. If you want to get rid of it just download and run the following program: task main() { (...) (20 years ago, 15-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
