Re: Can I Make Something Clear?

My only real response to the first thread, and now this one is:

Why?

You have a very, very, very, very, very, very and let me add very limited sensor and compute base on a FIRST bot. After seeing the GATech Darpa Urban Challenge bot at Championships, I can't even imagine thinking about making something that has to be able to do more than just drive with 1/100th of that hardware. I saw the postulates about putting the PS3 on the bot, and even then it would be ridiculously underpowered and still illegal.

If you want to learn to program, learn to program; It's a useful skill and will be helpful in your future. Also helpful is being able to tell when an idea is unrealistic or unachievable.
