What if the enviroment is already set for the bot?
Why I ask is they sell golf-balls that light up for pysc^h^h^h^h people that
golf at night. Real neat looking. I might get some to play with.
If the ball glows PDs on the bot could detect the light. I think. The
detectors might have to be tuned.
Sorry about the last post being multiplied. My local server is going satanic
on me. I'm fixing to hang it and get a cable modem. Except that's the same
cable company that is giving me 40 cooking chanels...
