Robot ?s and suggestions

Hello------In Robot II, there are provisions for selecting ranges for layoffs, but no display of the results in the Learn All printout. Will this be added?
I find the Trainer letter grades in Htr to be very helpful. Can they be incorporated into Robot II?
Finally, I now have 12 numbered Spot Plays in Robot I (#s 1-12), and four in Robot II. I'd prefer to have them all in Robot II, because Robot II allows for download/display of ALL spot plays at once, while Robot I requires individual display, spot play by spot play. How can I move 'em all to Robot II and renumber?
THANKS!!-------Bill

As far as the old Robot spot play.

You will have to redo them in Robot2. The spot plays in Robot2 are named like 001.HSP. After you redo them it is possible to go in and renumber them if that will help you. Just use Windows Explorer if you need to renumber them.

km will have to reply to the rest of your message.

Thanks

those are good questions 'bill, thanks for posting...

A set of key Layoff Ranges are listed in LEARN ALL (HTR2 Robot) and LEARN MORE (Robot II) reports.

These are the basic statistically valid ranges for layoffs as described in our literature last year (maybe Rick can find the newsletter for you).

Trainer Letter Grades as well as the TPG (Trainer Performance Grade) require access to the Trainer Stats (text) report file. This would greatly increases the Robot workload and time consumption because it must open that text file and search for each horse individually in the text. I may try it in the "Connections" section later, but be warned that it will slow your Robot test down like molasses.
