Have you got one of those Lego robots or better yet, an Imperial Walker (from the Star Wars series)?

I've got a Lego Mindstorms Robotics Discovery System (ultra cool), and a Fischertechnik Mobile Robot. The Lego one is much better, as building with Lego is very simple (yet robust) - I program it with NQC (Not Quite C, some Swedish dude created a simplified version of C to be used with it). The default programming for the Lego is a click-and-drag interface which is probably good for the kiddies, but not enthusiasts like myself.

The BASIC programming I did was with a BASIC STAMP. It sucked major league (mostly due to working in a team with people who had no clue about what they were doing, unfortunately).

I went to Japan a few years ago to take part in a robot-soccer competition, using our Lego robots. We finished 8th (in the world!). After that though my programming/construction skills improved greatly, and I made a robot that I reckon probably would've helped us to at least the top 3

Don't forget cd\ to jump right to the top.

The Lego Mindstorms was what I was trying to thing of.

So you built a robot and went to Japan. That's way cool.8)

There's so much we don't know about you, nom. You're a man of many talents.

Window XP won't let you format the active system partition.

What about format disk(fdisk) ? Does it still exist?
Do they (format and fdisk)have anything to do with XP?

format is still in XP but fdisk is not. You do that stuff from the install bootable cdrom, or from the disk management in admin control.

One of my hobbies is writing batch files so I have kept my hand in with command line tools etc. It's fun!

I would rather choose some pretty, poisonous spiders,snakes...
Very lazy since XP...Forgot almost everything about command line...
(XP and not the previous Windows products)

I use a floppy to boot into Dos. Then I can do what I need in Dos including formatting, fdisk, and others..

New software,new sickness.
Sick and tired of the new C++.
Cannot compile and run my program.
I think that I'm close to the solution...
Tonight I have to solve it or throw out and return to Ver. 6!

What sort of programs are you writing, misi?
