Still no update? I can't seem to open the robot rules from here.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

My faith in the GDC has been restored.

I have never been so excited for a team update.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?

Yay. 60" was a good challenge, but somewhat limiting.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?

So is the restriction for "possible" configurations or "programmed" configurations? For instance, if you have an arm that potentially could extend out past 84" barrier if rotated parallel with the ground, but programatically you don't allow that extension unti the arm is angled upward, not breaking the 84" restriction. Legal?

Or will the inspector have us extend the arm to its full length and then articulate it up and down to verify it never at any point breaches the barrier.

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?

If your programming prevents extension beyond the 84", you will have to prove that to an inspector. The inspector in turn will inform the Head Ref so that they can be aware that your program in intended to prevent breaking the 84" barrier. If they suspect a programming failure (and they do occur), they will then call for a re-inspect. In a case like this I usually recommend that a team design a secondary preventative in case a programmer inadvertently rems out the limit code.

Uh-oh Al, I think you might have just dated yourself I don't think REM has been in any syntax since about 1985. Of, course TRON went extinct even before that. Note to self: write a movie script about a character named "TROFF".

Alex,
Isn't REM valid in C++? I am just a hardware guy.

Could be. I'm not sure this newfangled C++ thing is going to catch on so I haven't adopted it yet. Also, all of my equities positions are in buggy whip futures.

Just be careful about using a CLU character. Maybe ALU? Maybe you could have a snake called Half Adder?

Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?

REM is still valid VB syntax, I have never known REM to be a part of C/C++ (comments are //comment and /* comment */)
