: The program RAM spec is misleading, however - you can store 8 separate programs in it, but each program is about the same length as before. BASICally (:-)), we get 2.5 times faster execution (but we don't know if the transmitter will send its packets any faster), and new instructions for read/write to the Eeprom. The new chip appears to drop into a BS2 socket, if your clone uses one.

I saw that... and I kind of like it. Buzzs's program for the 1999 season only occupied 39% of the ROM. I would have loved to bring the Artificial Intelligence out of that program and into a second that is a mirror of the first, but also does the AI. This would make for 1 fast program for simple driving and another one that you could drive the robot with but was slowed by AI.
