I didn't remember because I'm over 50 now ... thanks for reminding me
Doug!!!
Anyway, as I did state in that message, autonomous fire control is hard
enough that even with a thermal device like Joe had (which cost more
money than the prize no doubt), any autonomous roboteer would still have
a tough time collecting the prize. I still think that the autonomous
robot builders are more talk than walk and that the prize money will be
sitting in my bank account for quite some time.
