Interesting. Those were the concerns that our lead programmer had problems with.

We were going to test a new robot platform (Killough) and we needed some good vector mathematics. He said that he'd have to rework all the problems to use binary radians as well as positive integers. He also didn't like the possibility of dropped bits (read: accuracy) of PBASIC division.

Hm, hopefully FIRST will introduce a new control system. *grin* Perhaps something along the lines of a 33 MHz Dragonball VZ processor? Oh, I only hope.
