Question About Random Number

I can generate a random number between X and Y. That all works good. But, I need to repeatedly have a different random number each time that I run the subroutine. I find that when I run it, it gives me the same set of random numbers each time i run it. Like it draws out of the hat, but instead of being natural random, it is sort of fixed. hope I am...

question

Rss Feed Unstopable

Dual R/C And Ez-B Controls

Hi, All. I am just starting out on planning a robot build and was thinking that it would be good to be able to have the robot under remote control when it is not autonomous.  Running things via a sabertooth seems like a workable solution for a robot's wheels, but I have other servos, lights, and sounds that need to be dual-controlled as well.  I...
