Another question before I call it a night- under LegOS 0.1.6, light-sensor values were restricted to the range 0-100. Under 0.1.7, I'm now getting a max value (pointed straight at a light bulb) of about 263, or once even 272. 255 would make sense to (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
