Just when you think you sufficiently documented a past project, or 
thought you could get away with not declaring magic numbers...

The new head design issued last year has changed from the previous heads 
to the extent that I need to go back to that spreadsheet to 
re-proportion the entire robot.  I've reacquainted myself with both the 
SVG file and the spreadsheet, added comments <!-- --> to the SVG file, 
and created identifiers in androidrobot.inc for most of the magic 
numbers that correspond to the spreadsheet numbers.  But I've run into a 
strange snag: two of the numbers in the spreadsheet do not show up in 
the relevant macro, and the two would-be corresponding numbers in the 
macro do not show up in the spreadsheet!

I will have to figure out where my head was 5 years ago, and how those 
two macro numbers relate to the spreadsheet.
