EEPROMS have a limited number of write cycles, something like a million?

I dont think you want to be writing to the EEPROM on every SW loop. When something is running at hundreds or thousands of loops per second, it doesnt take long to get to a million.

in fact, how could you program this? if your bot did not finish auton mode the last time you ran it, or got hung up for some reason - how would you reinitialize it the next time you WANT to power the bot up?

wouldnt it try to go back and start from where it left off last time?

how does the RC know if the reset was a glitch or a deliberate power on / power off cycle?
