After a few failed attempts, I’ve finally managed to build a reasonably reliable Connect-4 playing NXT Robot.  It talks to the PC over Bluetooth to do the thinking because it uses a minmax algorithm that needs function recursion  which is not supported by NXC. And since I’m not smart enough to write my own, I had to find one on the web, credit and thanks to Keith Pomakis.

Sorry, trying to fix it.  Not sure what's going on, here's the link though:

*sigh* Folks, enter the video code only (the bit after v=), not the full YouTube URL. Fixed for you.

Thanks for that.  I though I had tried that.  Is there meant to be some sort of icon on the editor toolbar to embed videos?  I certainly can't see one, so I manually tried to write the bbcodes and inserted the 'sharing URL' that youtube gave me, in between.

No icon. We use standard BBCode syntax, so that's what should be used - not what YouTube gives you. That's for something different, not for inserting in forum posts.
