3pi pololu robot 2nd experiment

Next (see before 3pi pololu robot 1st experiment) we decided to make 3pi follow a given path from point A to point B.
We inserted an array of directions into the C code. Each time 3pi find a diversion it consumes a direction from the array and applies it.

My deep condolences to China and Myanmar

I am really sad about the dramatic news on China earthquake and Myanmar cyclone huge death tools.
I really feel powerless hearing about the pain of all these affected people that have beloved ones lives taken so suddenly.
I hope that they find the strength to go on, being assured that the departed beloved ones certainly would wish that they do so, if their voices could be heard. Maybe something like "Go ahead, dears, I miss you, but there is nothing I can do about this. Just don't forget me, and in the name of the love we shared, as parents, children, husband, wives, relatives, friends, partners, neighbourgs ... try to explore a little more the wonderful experience of life. If life did not matter, so our losses would not as well.".
I am sorry if I am being foolish, but believe me, I just want to show respect, sorrow and support for those who are facing a so terrible experience.
