Bill Bill Bill,

How sharp is your mind!?!?

As usual, you have gotten to the real nub of the matter.

The code that lets our two-wheel-independent-swerve work is indeed the more valuable bit of information.

It is no exaggeration to say that it took us 3 years to think out not only how the software should behave, but how the human interface should be done.

After we had all that sort of noodled out, it took me approximately 50 hours to code in PBASIC (really! -- I can't say enough bad things about unsigned 16 bit math).

Bottom line, it turned out to be 9 extremely elegant lines of code -- and no you can't have them ;-)

Ask me again after you've thought about it for a while... ...perhaps 3 years ;-)

Can't wait for 2001!

Joe J.

P.S. Rumor is that all the dates for next year are set already (including Disney!) -- Anybody got the goods? I don't but I wish I did. Spill 'em if you've got 'em.
