Updated Minisumo/Linefollower code
Fixed a reset problem in the sumo code, turns out the a If...Then statement does not store its location on the stack. Ergo the return instruction at the bottom of the turn function was pulling a random location. Anyway a change from a return to a goto and everything is shipshape, savvy? Then download the […]
