[oopic] Conserving bytes

Hi gang
I'm having trouble figuring out how to maximize the use of the limited
RAM on an OoPic R.
For instance, 2 DC motors and 2 servos (pan and tilt) and one LCD takes
47 bytes (L + R oDCMotor 5 bytes each, 2 oA2DX for turn and speed 5
bytes each, 2 oRamp at 7 bytes each, 2 servos at 4 bytes each, 1 LCDSE
at 5 bytes)
Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Adding in 1 or more oIRRange objects, a oSerialX, a oWire or two, and a
few misc. oBytes brings the total perilously close to the 'magic 86'.
Is using the EEPROM a potential solution? And what is the best use for
the EEPROM? I picked up a 256K EEPROM and want to use it for maximum
effect, but what exactly is THAT?

Also, what is the best use of Virtual Circuits? I think I get the
concept, but using it efficiently eludes me.

Thanx in advance,
Red
