Plans for further SMASHING...er, I mean DEVELOPMENT

Here is a rough outline of some future plans for Customer Service ROBOT!

• More building types
• Cars and Airplanes (Zach already drew graphics)
• Make the lasers work.
  • Do damage to buildings and burn trees
  • Display a beam of light (using the quad code Brian wrote)
• Customer log.
  • Record a list of all the customers you have helped
  • and an ui for viewing it
• Body upgrades
  • New legs (faster walking?)
  • New arms (faster smashing, other animations?)
  • New heads (different eye-lasers)
  • New torsos (different ...?)
  • New antennae (different navigation tools)
• Alternate navigation tools
  • ThermoNav - Display "Hot" or "Cold" depending on whether you are getting closer or further from the customer (disrupted by power plants and refrigerated warehouses?)
  • MagnetoNav - Periodically recommend N, S, E, W (disrupted by iron foundries?)
  • EchoNav - report distance from customer in nautical miles, but not direction. (disrupted by aquariums?)
  • SataliteNav - (similar to current navigation) Show precise direction to the customer (disrupted by cell-towers?)
  • PigeonNav - A pigeon flies back and forth between you and the customer (undisruptable!)
  • www.map.nav - A modal map of the city showing your position and the customer's position. Can't move while looking at it.

Also, nobody has reported any further information about the crashes on Windows. I hope that means that we already solved them in the last update ;)
