Thanks again for sharing your expertise on the topic,
Vick.

The recorded memory remains in EEPROM even after you switch the robot off. It wouldn't be very useful if it was erased every time you turned the robot on, would it? Watch out, though, because every time you download new code to the RC it erases any stored EEPROM memory, including your recorded autonomous!!!
Be very careful about making changes to your code if you don't have time to re-record your autonomous.
