Why does Robolab only have a few colored containers?
The colored containers are just shortcuts for generic numbered containers. If you use the generic container and tie a unique number to it, you can have many more containers. The first few numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) correspond to the colored variables. But you can use variables up to something like 35 without problems. Just be careful. The higher variable numbers are special purpose variables. They will tell you what iteration your loop is in and other interesting things, and hence using them as a variable would be bad news!
