Hey I noticed that the division code example is using the "ul" tag instead of the "div" tag. Thanks!

Edit: nevermind, but the comment still says "This ul tag"

Likely a bug. I carried the skull item and got this error when trying to dance:

Me too, this feels like another case of better off not knowing. Being a childhood fan of Ren and Stimpy cartoons, and having read the article realizing that Katie Rice worked for Spumco, now I get why I like the art style for Katie's webcomics Skadi and Camp Weedonwantcha. I really hope the content of the article isn't the reason for the current hiatus of the camp comic. I was really struck by her quote at the end about wishing she hadn't gone through it even if would have made her a less skilled artist.

I got this Arduino bot for $70. Has its own battery for sufficient power. The motor gearing is a bit fast, so it's better to use PWM to slow down the motors, except the default pinout disables PWM on the drive gpios when the servo is enabled. The build quality is ok, except there are no spacers for the bolts between the PCBs and acrylic base, so I worry about damaging the PCB during assembly.

I was able to compile it on Ubuntu after moving the X11 includes to the bottom of the list:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <strings.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <stdint.h>
  #include <inttypes.h>
  #include <stdarg.h>
  #include <math.h>
  #include <X11/Xlib.h>
  #include <X11/Xlibint.h>
  #include <X11/Xproto.h>
  #include <X11/Xatom.h>
  #include <X11/extensions/Xrandr.h>
  #include <X11/extensions/Xrender.h>

Passing a null pointer to free() is perfectly safe, and in this case simplifies the cleanup code.

Although the concern of a memory leak is valid. I would have expected the resources to be free'd regardless of the result.
