I have learned to live with 16 bit unsigned math, what kills me more is lack of RAM space for variable (Scratchpad RAM and EEPROM space are poor subsitutes) and the lack of an interrupt mechanism to respond to time critical tasks.

I have been programming in FIRST for 4 years and never had a problem with not having interrupts until this year. Its almost impossible to detect the white line at high speeds. The data just comes and goes before the Stamp asks for it.

Oh my God! I cringe while watching the programming scene in Swordfish. And to think that's actually the future!
