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.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

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.
