luck, and I had a question about the circuit. Is the green led
supposed to be a FLED or a regular led?

A couple of days ago i attached a retractable pencil lead to the back
end of one of my robots and the put some paper down in my RJP. He has
been driving about for three days now leaving little "snail trails"
where ever he goes. Originally i did it so i could trim his direction
trim-pot a bit better, but then i started getting some really funky
patterns emerging and now i am going to scan it in and turn it into
robot art.
I was talking to a friend who runs an art gallery in Melbourne and we
cam up with the idea on placing several robots on a horizontal canvas or
something, with some lights over head and a different colour felt tip
pen on each robot. They robots can then go ahead and do their art work
whilst people watch....its kind of a living work in progress type art
work. Its probably going to go on display in about two months.
