Keep in mind that Nimrod will also try to evaluate normal code at compile-time, so the following will work fine:

    const FOOBAR = if 2 > 1: 10 else: 20

What I'd actually be doing is more like:

  when ROBOT_VER == 32:
    type TSonarAddresses = array[0..3, int]
    const sonarAddresses: TSonarAddresses = [1,2,3,4]
    ...
  elif ROBOT_VER == 33:
    ...

and stuff like that.

I see. Good, that is precisely what 'when' should be used for :)

This is called "constant folding", and every better compiler should do that.
