Re: January Servo Magazine

I think that Stanley's code is simpler in terms of less "if then" type conditionals, (generally speaking of course), as in constantly referencing set code in order to check what's happening. The code becomes more complicated, but less complex (I think thats right...) by utilizing an algorithm that creates it's own method of driving, i.e., it drives for awhile, sees what "driving" is, cataloges the characteristics of driving, and applies these characteristics to the present situation it's in. Therefore, it doesn't have to know everything, it just has to know what to do if something similar, or parallel happens.
