Come to think of it....I have seen a "robot guidance" rules in an old
issue of
the White Dwarf.
(I think it was shortly after they went entirely warhammer.)

It involved a large set of tiles.  Each tile said something different
like "move
full speed", "Attack", or arrows, or disision boxs.  All "programs"
started at
the upper left tile, and moved to the lower right.
So you could use the tiles to make up any program you wanted.  The only
problem
was if you had more than a few robots with differant programs.	You
would run
out of tiles...
