If anyone's interested, here is the finished code for Leinad Legobot.
The new 4000 routine detects touch sensors to make the forklift stop at
its upper/lower limits, rather than keep moving even though there's no
place to go. We couldn't get it working with the optical sensors
(various reasons) so I called an audible to switch to the touch sensors.
That works much better. Kudos to Dan for perfecting the code behind
this. Kudos also to Paul H. for teaching me (several versions ago) what
was wrong with my joystick navigation code.

My plan now is bring this to Trenton, exhibit it at Southeast, expand it
into a game at Kfest (if I can go), and then make it the centerpiece of
the permanent Lego learning station in our museum. I'll make a big
kid-friendly flow chart poster to go with that last part.
