I'm still here and on the case! My grandson bought a remote controlled 'crawler truck' kit and wanted to come over here and put it together. We have been on it for 4 days, it's up and running, but the body still needs paint and assembly. We are resuming tomorrow. 
Directions said 2-3 hours, I'd love to see that!!
Anyway, I have some catching up and study to do, I'm slightly behind in my lessons! My real name is Thomas (Tom) Frye and I am in Lenexa, KS. Been in the K.C. area all my life except for a year or two here and there when I was a kid (early '60s). Lived in Tucson, AZ and West Palm Beach, FL. Was in WPB when President Kennedy was assassinated (they had an estate in Palm Beach, were very popular there). I am now retired. I have done some programming in Quick Basic and MS Prof. Basic back in the DOS days, late '80s early '90s. I never kept up when Windows started taking over so I am lost with C++ and other languages, nifty user screens, etc. I can hack out a thing or two in the Arduino IDE, but nothing overly complicated.
I really want to study all this a while, but my grandson is out of school again Monday so I am still tied up for a while yet. I don't think we will be completely done with his 'crawler' by then, but maybe close? The old brain has trouble switching it's full attention from crawlers to Arduino code. Don't work as well as it used to. May be something to do with teaching old dogs new tricks?? And grandpa gets tired much easier and faster than his grandson. 
I'm sure I will really enjoy all this when I can devote some more time to it.
