>> Were additional probes built by Brace before it collapsed?

Only 6 AI probes was made at Brace . The other probes are the builders and are not as smart as the AI probes. The programming language in them is called "SmallTalk" It is a neat program to do all that it does. The probes call them dumb but as robots go they are very smart. Not as smart as the later AI probes, but I thank they are smart. The AI probes came after we had started making the others. At first there was not plan to have AI. But they could not handle all the new software that we keep creating so then came the AI's, with the Dec-Alpha's .
