[simpits-tech] Using Pots for position sensing (part 2)

[Rick Davis]

Bwahahaha!

Thanks for those Roy!

Absolute classics!

I remember many a morning skipping school to sneak back home to watch those. 
I could never figure out why they aired that stuff at a time when everyone 
was "supposed" to be in school. Guess that's why I was in the sixth grade 
for three times running (kidding!)

Those were simpler days.
