I'm typing this from a Denny's just south of Daytona Beach, trying to keep the MacBook from getting too greasy from my dinner.

I can't wait to make it down there.

2) radio modem (I'm assuming earlier years will be allowed). Our '07 modem has died. It was quick and painless. Our '06 has a broken antenna, but we may be able to fix it.
3) pneumatic tubing. We went through quite a bit of it with various arm removal activities (some intentional, some not - Thanks to Barry B's team).

thanks

An update:
Got the COM port fixed; the IT guy at work said to uninstall it and let windows reinstall it; runs fine now.
So, I was able to download the code to the '06 controller. Runs fine.
So then, I tried the '07 modem; it works fine too. I guess all the problems were in the '07 controller.

It took a total of 5 minutes to do all that; too bad I couldn't do it in the hour and a half that I had 20 kids watching me Wednesday night.

So, HAZE has a radio controlled robot again. I guess all we need to do in the morning is rerun the pneumatics (and make a few improvements to the arm).
